I had an older cousin who owned the military vehicles and I have such fond memories of going to his house and spending hours playing with them.
Have you ever done a blog post on Lesney toys?

Thanks Airlandia. I agree those military vehicles are really special.
Re: Lesney – indeed I have made a blog post which covers many of the Matchbox vehicles produced by Lesney plus other Matchbox toys. You can see it here: https://thevintagetoyadvertiser.org/category/matchbox/

Hi TVTA, wow a DUKW! I didn’t know there was a model of one of those. I got to get a close up look at a real “Duck” at a military museum near York in the UK. Great bit of technology. In London a company use two converted amphibian Ducks as tour buses and they ford the Thames…you can’t miss them they are painted bright yellow!

Hi FT. I’ve never seen a real military DUK but have seen those tourist ones you mention.

Yes DUKW are getting to be rare sightings. Sadly the museum I visited has closed so where the DUKW is now I have no idea. It was an impressive piece of kit though. The museum also had a Ferret scout armoured car (similar to the armoured car vehicle in the Action Man range)
