Finally dug them out- first swallow- on the box is the price- 17/6 (75p) if only......

No name decals- all 3 started to have crazed paint so they were returned to the shop who had them repainted, and the decals were sprayed too

Then about 4 years ago Dad had all 3 painted by a car paint shop, retained the colours but not perhaps to everyones taste- possibly overdone?

Seahawk also still has a box, but the third (Maybe Eagle) is missing

All burners present but I think all may have had spraydecks remade- and I believe they would be better in steel colour. Still pleased with them

. Lucky Dads a major hoarder!

Wow, they look great.

Want to make a profit on the swallow? I will give you £1.50. Go on, that is 100% profit, you would be a fool not to!

I need to start a major collection now, so by the time I'm in my 30's I can sell these engine for big bucks.Live off the profit too

I hope that they are not damaged in any way.

Those look great.

I'm joining in along moosey

When Ranger turns 30, he wont want sheep

I suspect Ranger will be able to retain his collection at that point in time.

That's a stunning fleet! I'd be very happy with any one of those.

(btw 17/6 is 87.5p.... OK I'll shut up.

Really nice craft

I have to admit that I am not of the Boat type of collector, but those make me want one also. The last boat I had burned Gasoline and cost me way too much money, even happier than the day that I bought it was the day that I sold it, however it was over 20 foot long. It was a hole in the water that I poured money into. These might be slightly less expensive but I suspect that once the bug bites not much less expensive.
