Following on from this thread where Flybiker7000 tempted us to drift into a discussion on the DH91 Albatross...

Browsing through Fleabay last night, I noticed that there's a Dinky Toy die-cast model of the Albatross for sale (I didn't know they'd done one).
The seller doesn't seem to know what it is.
Looking at the photos, it seems to be quite an accurate scale model (aside from the period three-bladed tin propellors and toy undercarriage).

The asking price of AU$95 caused me to raise an eyebrow until, a couple of items down, I saw a Dinky Toy flat-bed Foden lorry for only AU$4000 (What??).

So, if anybody's keen enough for a piece of DeHavilland and Dinky Toy history, PM me and I'll let you know the Fleabay item no.
