I suppose it is self-fulfilling in a way that I should get some excellent bargains on eBay, a dogged persistence combined with a refusal to pay above certain prices combined with the infinite number of monkeys theory means that when a bargain is there one has a good chance of bagging it. This model is 50 years old near enough, its scarce as hens teeth and in very good condition - look at the base, it has never really been played with. It cost me £11.00 which was a steal.
It has a couple of features, the rear aerial folds flat and the radar dish can be rotated by means of a knurled knob on the side of the bodywork. What is really unusual is that the centre probe is still present on the dish.
I can put the Rocket Age gift set together now - we have the RAF Land Rover, Thunderbird Guided Missile on Trolley, RAF Staff Car-Standard Vanguard, Decca Radar Scanner, Karrier Gamecock Radar Van, Bloodhound Guided Missile, Bloodhound Missile Platform, Bloodhound Missile Trolley, yes we've got the whole lot.
