Talking about Airfix models; about 5 years ago I started making aircraft; primarily fighters from a bygone age.Still got them an a wall.
As a youngster,many years ago, I made squadrons of Sopwith Camels and German Albatross and fought the WW1 airwar all over again.

What were those small metal toys called (about 5 or 6 of them to a set) which you threw one in the air and had to pick up others before catching the airborne one. They we shaped a bit like those barriers the Huns put up on the French beaches to stop the invasion. The toy ones much smaller of course.

I remember saving footballer cards from bubble gum packets.
Wasn't it a frustration when you only needed 2 or 3 more to complete the set and kept getting ones you already had.
Still got my stamp collection somewhere. I gave up when the Royal Mail kept releasing special sets every few weeks or so. Became too damn expensive.

Another favourite memory was the 1p ice cream cone which you bought on the way home from school.
