Super Flight Deck

Now this was my kind of toy.

Airfix’s Super Flight Deck involved a catapult. What genius at Airfix thought of inserting a boys favourite banned item into an official toy.

The Phantom Jet was launched via catapult along a string “flight line” and then turn round to land it safely back to base.

Price circa 1976 from Argos £4.75

70s Toys & Games

Remember the old retro toys you used to play with? Did you bounce about on spacehoppers, play pong or ride around on your cool Chopper? Can you recall the heroes Twirling Tim and Hurricane Hank, and who they used to do battle with in the arena? Did you used to come home from school with bruised knuckles from trying to beat 100 clacks on your Klackers? Or was you the studious type carefully making lovely patterns with your Spirograph which, no matter how careful you were, always seemed to cut through the paper turning your masterpiece into a mess.
