Our childhood toys

[John L]

Does anybody else remember Zetas from their early 60s Birmingham childhood? They were little delta-winged plastic planes that launched from a small catapult that came with them. They zoomed and soared impressively during their short flights. Quite uncontrollable, though!

Something like this?
