17/6 in 1955 would be £18.18 today....
Or if you want to relive your childhood... £125 - £150!

They haven't got the 707 but they do have a Caravelle. I recall my local bits'n'bobs shop sold Frog 1/72 kits rebadged as Novo for really silly money during a clearance sale when I was about 10, 20p each or something. I bought a few... wish I still had them unmade!
