Not for me to put forward a museum to take it on, but as NAM already have a Viggen and Draken then surely a Lansen would look very at home there.

Over to you plugmeister 😀

Judging by other posts on another thread, i thought the future for large active jet aircraft at Elvington was not exactly secure either, unless i read that wrong?!

Bruntingthorpe with the Walton family would be my choice.

Wyvernfan;

I thought that the Britains stuff was great. However, I wasn’t into the peaceful past time of ploughing and sowing crops, but blowing things up with Britain’s excellent range of military hardware.

Yes they were all quality toys back then, and made to last.

Same here, loved the Britains tractors which I usually got at Christmas from a rich farmer friend of the family. Strangely I looked on EBay the other day to see if you could still get them.

My first was this Ford 5000 on the left, now minus its cab and smaller fittings. Also shown is my favourite Ford 6600 thats still complete apart from the exhaust, and my cultivator. The piece of metal elastic banded on the back was found in dads shed and has been on there since the seventies. It was my attempt to stop it springing up when it got caught in the carpet during cultivating :D.

Yes Corgi, Dinky and Matchbox were a part of my childhood too, but my favourite was always Britains farm models. I spent many a happy hour ploughing and rolling furrows in my parents carpets. And when they bought out the Massey Ferguson combine in 1978 (toy of the year) oh boy, my life was complete :cool:.
I still have some of them but lets just say they have been ‘well loved’ 😉
