Stories from 47 Regt days . . .

I guess you are to blame John, really.

After all, until I chanced upon your 47 website, I had more or less archived my memories of Dortmund days. Now however I'm back into it with a vengeance and am having a renaissance of things Corporal. I have bought my own erector and launcher and will probably launch an attack on the USSR as soon as I can find a firing console!

A Dinky Toys erector and launcher is going on ebay for £245 as I write but it is in pristine condition and in it's original box. The Britain's model which is bigger and has more moving parts is rarer and goodness how much it would cost in the same condition. Mine is a Britain's, without box and a little playworn but at £25 I thought it was a snip. Pictures attached. I may even paint it and try to make a Napier Barracks airfield diorama to put it in - that shouldn't be to difficult as all I need is some trees in the distance!

Some hasty pictures attached.
