70's game

[Gothic]

I don't know if anyone can help me, I'm trying to remember the name of a game. You had to drop bombs onto targets on a moving map. You looked down through a bomb aimers sight and it became easier as you could memorise the map the more times you played it. I think the map was circular and may have been on a timer, possibly clockwork?

Yes..but they were not bombs..
they were parachutes..chutes away!

That looks cool! Wish I'd had that when I was a kid (or now!) Never heard of it before in my life.

it was one of those toys that you saw in the Marshall Ward (or Kays) Winter catalogue around xmas time and wish you had.

Thanks Sixtyten, that's the game. Apparently there was a version you could play in the dark, with a little spotlight under the plane to illuminate the targets.
