| One of the "must-have" toys of the '60s |
Surely there can't have been a kid in the '60s who didn't have one of this fantastic battery-operated HYDRO PLANE speedboat? As well as playing with it in ponds, baths and sinks, it also came in useful as a handy fan on hot summer days at the seaside. They just don't seem to make toys like this anymore.

Kid, there seemed to be a lot of these type of toys, usually Japanese, knocking around in the 60s. For me having no local baoating pond/lake always forced a dangerous launch at the seaside. How many imaginery crew members were lost in the cruel seas at Britain's seaside resorts during the 1960s?
Ken.
More than we could guess, I'm sure. And how many parents nearly drowned trying to retrieve them from the waves?
