No. 706, No. 708/893, No. 60E/803 Three Dinky Toys Viscounts

[998]

I have found an excellent discussion by an expert on this subject

http://www.talkmodeltoys.com/discus/mes ... 1217886745

he confirms the water slide ones came latter, plus there is some great discussion on the Britannia worth looking at.

I have had a chance to read the article, and I must say, what an eye opener! Thank you very much for that! The photo by Peter Golden of his (or what I assume is his) Britannia with the red lines, bright silver bottom and 'very nice' condition is what I would like to be able to find someday. THAT would be the 'perfect' 998 for me.

Thanks very much again.

some nice models in the June 27th Vectis sale, lots of Nicky Toys {Indian Dinkys} Viscounts, a few Aero Minis including the KC-135 which is always a hard to find toy, all types of die cast aircraft from my collection so untouched by me, most in great condition.
Also a John Alcott Nimrod of which he made no more that 10, numbered and signed

Thanx for the heads-up! Although I'm not into Nicky Toys, a few regular return visits to the Vectis world would serve me well.
