Nostalgia Trip by Helicopter


Just to prove that I haven't actually grown up here's a picture of one of the Christmas presents I received this year in my stocking - a Meccano kit helicopter.
As you can see, although it must be well over 40 years since I last had a Meccano set, I haven't lost the knack of Meccano building! It's like swimming, or riding a bike - except you don't get wet and it doesn't tire you out.
I wonder how many of these kits were bought this Christmas for real children and how many were bought as nostalgia tickets for alleged adults like myself?
