Hi all,

Sorry - this ought to be a proper de-lurk, but I'm in the thick
of work at the moment. However, I couldn't resist confirming
your suspicions...

I'm certain that I got this set from a Persil offer (must be
Persil since that was my family's choice of brand) when I was
a wee nipper... I remember the wacky wings, and I'm fairly
sure the excavator buggy docks into the back and is held in
place by the hinged bit.

In theory, I should be able to get hold of the bits again -
I gave my old sets to a friend for his son to play with a
few years ago (seen the light since, natch) but said son is
more into his PlayStation now. Don't know if I have any
instructions though - they always seemed to disappear down
the back of drawers and things...

Anyway, I must get back to the grindstone,

Will Vale

I've looked through all the Classic Space sets on Lugnet and this is the
only one that jogs the memory.
