[LINK] Canada's own space toys

[rfmcdonald]

Some of you may remember the photos I posted of the Canadian Air and Space Museum, hopefully including the display case of vintage space toys there. It turns out that these are collectors items, photos of them being rare, and a British collector--with my permission--pointed his readers towards my blog post.

Here's the full display case, where you can see a Spacex Moon Base, SWORD vehicles and a flotilla of Major Matt Mason toys including the wonderful Space Station with it's silver beacon light atop [feels like yesterday when I was switching my own on in the late Sixties!]. I like the combination of the wooden Dyna Soar model stand next to the plastic SWORD version on the top shelf. And look at the size of the PAYA Lunar Jeep [bottom centre] - it's bigger than the Moon Prospector or even the Space Glider! God knows how big the PAYA Lunar Climber must be? If any reader is lucky enough to own one please consider sending in a shot of it like this next to a SWORD vehicle!
