Still have my 1952 Royal coach, the first production line from Lesney mentioned in the footage. Many were given to disabled war veterans like my father.
I was a fan and collector of Dinky toys. I remember the excitement of my 10th Christmas receiving the top-of -the-range "Tank Transporter and Centurion Tank', costing as much as £1 17/6d .
Many a large school playground battle was fought between the rival factions of Dinky and Corgi collectors I recall in the late 1950's.
Wish I had had the foresight to keep them pristine with their boxes!
