Airfix HMS Camden Lock


A mate from an alternate dimension sent me his Airfix catalogue from the 70's where it turns out Hyperdrive was a popular Comedy TV show, starring Windsor Davies, Terry Scott, Felicity Kendal and Michael Crawford, it would end with the BBC 'You have been watching' style ending. Anyway Airfix produced a model kit of the HMS Camden Lock the main spaceship from the show. Sadly the dimensional rift between me and my mate has closed for another 10 years otherwise I'd have asked him to get me the kit ! Oh well !!!
