I cannot believe they still make them – Polystyrene Planes

July 20th, 2007 | Posted in Bloomin' Cool | 6 Comments

Who remembers them? They came in paper sleeves for a few pence, lasted around 10 throws before breaking in two.

I played with them when I was a nipper, it was a jaw dropping moment to see my nipper now playing with them. He bought them from a museum souvenir shop for 30p each.

Got me thinking about the other toys I played with, who remembers BMX Flyer?

NO WAY! I used to play with these on caravan sites when I was FORCED to go to my grandparents place. They were crap but awesome. I NEVER found a spitfire though.

Did you grow up in Sheffield? I bought them from the comic shop on London Road. Can’t remember the name.

Hi Guys,
we have these planes even in Germany. I bought some two years ago for my son in some store we call “baumarkt” - that´s a store where you can buy things that craftsmen of all kinds need.
But we have no spitfires over here either - mostly passenger planes :-(

Greetings
