Sourcing the best from the past
Where did it all begin?
A few years ago my father gave me a few of his childhood Dinky military toys in good, but played with condition. At that point my passion started, sourcing and collecting the very best military models that British toy manufacturers were producing when my father was a child. My interest then grew to include military models from my childhood bringing my collection range from the 1950’s through to the late 1970’s.
Sourcing mint or near mint boxed military diecast models has been a hobby of mine ever since and one that I would like to pass on through the generations as the workmanship that went into creating these diecast models has, in my opinion, never been matched since.
Please scroll down for an overview of what we sell or view our hundreds of mint obsolete toys in our online store.

Vintage Dinky Military Planes
The October 1969 issue of Meccano Magazine duly showed a pair of sturdy new Dinky Toys with "Battle of Britain" film tie-in branding, a MkII Spitfire (No. 719) and a Junkers Ju 87b Stuka (No. 721), in a larger scale suitable for being gripped by a hand, with new features – transparent plastic cockpits, and retractable wheels and a motorised propellor for the Spitfire, and a droppable bomb for the Stuka that made a bang if you fitted it with a "cap".
These two new Dinkies then formed the basis of a brand new range of Dinky military aircraft through the 1970s that consisted of fighter planes and helicopters replacing all the earlier Dinky aircraft with the emphasis on features and play value.
