Hi Everyone - Happy Christmas. It is a long time since I posted on here, but have found some space at home and have decided to start collecting again. I am tryin to put together a list of space themed allwins.
Can anyone add to the list please. I have Sputnik so far.

Thanks

Woody

Hi Guys

I can assure you it was a straightforward honest sale. The price shocked me a touch, but I was also offered £4.5k outside of the ebay process for the machine.

Thanks to Jerry for another good issue of MMM - which I thoroughly enjoyed reading.
Excellent item from John Peterson about the WW2 related machines - again well written and a good read,
particularly as along with WW1 related machines is the main theme of my small collection.

All the best
Woody
