70's Circular Hand Launched Spinning Disc

[FLYING SAUCER]

OK Community - A spinning disc, slightly biconcave, possibly blue and green, came with plastic launching device (bit like a guitar plectrum) could have been free with curly wurly? Size, about 3 inches in diameter.

Anyway when launched by inserting plectrum into slotted radius of disc it used to fly smoothly for ages! gutted though as mine went down the back of the mantleshelf and was lost forever!

This reminds me of a similar toy I had. Little round plastic flying disc things, like a outer circle with a propellar shape inside. They came with a thing that you attached them to then you'd wind them around until they were tight and there was a little button to press to set them off. The button was really small and hard to press in, but they were good fun.
