Indeed it is, I still have the same Dinky Beech Bonanza somewhere in the original (albeit less than mint :o ) box. I too had their Beech Baron, mine was white with yellow cowlings/props and gold self adhesive trim lines.

...drifts back to those long gone halcyon teenage days.....

Ah yes . . . the simpler days, eh?

If only life were that uncomplicated now, eh? :D Anyhow, a few of my childhood collection from ca.1960-64. The DT CPA Britannia (998) is my PRIZE of this lot, followed by the minty-mint Corgi BOAC Concorde, of which I had the very rare pleasure of opening and unpacking of this 1969 model for the very first time. All of these have been re-bought, as I was a destructive little b*gger as a kid!

Blimey, you're making me feel old, remembering THAT model.....!


Only about 3 - 4 years ago, I was shocked to see on of these (a REAL one) flying along the coastline, towards a famous Victorian sea-side resort

Unmistakable-tail & prob' my rarest latter-day "civilian" (darkside) sighting !
