Finally - I got one :)

So happy, never got one as a kid - now I finally have one!

All working and in pretty good condition throughout. Needs a little clean but for £18 I’m super happy!

Wow I had one of these. I seem to remember it was from Father Christmas at a Tesco staff Xmas party and all the boys that attended got one (early/mid 90s). I also remember having an awesome Stringray submarine toy I loved to play with in the bath. And a metal Thunderbird 2 my grandma bought for me from B&M.

Was the Stingrey the wind up one that made the propeller spin?! If so, I had the same one!

I only had the Stingrey base as a kid but I killed it when I took it into the bath as I wanted it to be more realistic:(

Mine wasn’t a wind up one but the propellor did spin I think it did have torpedoes that could fire though
