Mettoy Aerodrome Airport Playset, Circa 1951

A fabulous lithographed tinplate large Aerodrome Airport Playset, complete with all the original accessories including airplane, working gyroscopic helicopter, airport buses, refueling vehicle etc.

It was made in Swansea, Wales in Great Britain in 1951 by Mettoy Products (who later, under the stewardship of Phillip Ullman, went on to create Corgi Toys).

This set was a very expensive item in the Post-War years, and as such, was not a particularly good seller - Thus this complete set, in near perfect condition is quite a scarcity.
