I visited an old mate over xmas and he gave me this...

He said he didn't know where it came from. His brother had given it to him to give to me. When I saw the MAM on top I wasn't expecting much but after a quick rummage I found three VAM!

They are very war weary but one's a Hank look-a-like..

The big radio looks like it slots in somewhere.  A Marx jeep maybe? Also is the walkie-talkie a Stoney Smith accessory?

All in all a nice little unexpected xmas gift. . . and the moral of the story is keep in touch with people.  The mate who gave me this stuff and I have been friends for 40 odd years. We go way back to our late teens when we were both car mad but as we all know life gets in the way. Prior to this xmas I don't think I'd seen him for about 3 years and we hadn't spoken on the phone for over a year either. I rang him when I received an xmas card from him.  He'd had that box of VAM for months and had been meaning to call me but hadn't. Life huh?

Ha! That 1/6 white knitted cabled Aran is worth the rest of the stuff put together!  lol!
That's probably why a MAM has got it. Good taste!

Nice score!

The Six Million Dollar Man has his original decal! First time I have seen one that still has it.

I can dig out a Stoney Smith walkie-talkie to photograph, but I can tell you that the one
pictured is not his. I haven't seen those before.

Exciting box of fun accessories. Good to know that a lot of it will be put to good use after decades of neglect.

Steve fabulous pick up from your friend Steve. I see them being brought back to being play value hopefully soon and have them ready to go on adventures. The “undesirables” being held in the shed until firework night I agree with you because they don’t look that good and this is a mam fan typing this lol. Mind you the cream wholly jumper on one the mam does look good and I hope one of your vams takes it lol.
