A Bit Of Childhood Lost
A lot of good folk have passed this Xmas. I didn't even know this guy's name before today, though I owned, when I was very young, a two pound metal model of Thunderbird 2
...given to me for Xmas , which I played with diligently for a couple of years before it fell apart under the constant pounding. Not like the crappy gifts they give the youth of today (or, as I like to call them The YOT), which wind up in the landfill after 48 hours.

I had a model of Thunderbird 2 as well. The first thing to go was the plastic legs, then the smaller and very yellow Thunderbird 4 that was contained in 2's belly.
ReplyDeleteApart from the peeling blue paint, it is still in a box with my other diecast relics and my small nephews play with it today
