Fly me to the moon...

This battered old Dinky Toy has been in a biscuit tin for many years and I've been meaning to repair and repaint it for Mark.  He's a Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, and all that nonsense officionado and will be delighted to see this refurbished toy.  BTW, Mark is 46.




...'The Eagle Transporter is a fictional spacecraft seen in the 1970s British television series Space: 1999. The Eagles serve as the primary spacecraft of Moonbase Alpha, which has a fleet of them, and are often used to explore alien planets, defend Moonbase Alpha from attack, and to transport supplies and other items to and from the Moon. The Eagle was designed by Brian Johnson who had worked with Gerry Anderson on Thunderbirds in the mid-60s and had produced the spacecraft for the 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey. The Eagle spacecraft influenced the spaceship designs of Star Wars and other science fiction films and television series'.  © Wikipedia
