Back in the 70s I had a red and white one - that didn't have the girly safety ring circling the ends of the blades - just heavy plastic weights on the tips. Despite plaintive cries from my Father to always hold it above my head when launching...
I still have the cracked tooth in a Marmite jar to prove my folly.
Their light of pocket torch, of signal flare,
Licks at the edge of unsuspected places,
While others scan, under an arc-lamp's glare,
Nursery, kitchen sink, or their own faces.

I think thats the same one I had, it was Fekin brilliant
unfortunately, on the 4th or 5th flight of first use it decided to crash headfirst into the ground (was a little bit windy as I remember)
and because it didn't have the girly ring thing, one of the blades snapped off :cry: My Dad tried umpteen different types of glue to try and repair to no avil, dont think super glue was around then, a week later it was placed in the Bin :cry: was really sick about that, the thing would fly for miles
