I seem to have taken them late in 2010 as
my second Fuji was giving-up it's electronic mental-stability, so they may not
reproduce well, but I've left them un-collaged, apart from the two 'wooden
bench' shots.
I think they must have been a purchase from
the penultimate (or last?) Dave McKenna-run Birmingham toy soldier show which
was a few days earlier than these are dated, I did do a show report, but there
was a lot of stuff, and A) I only blogged the highlights and B) I know it never
got sorted, it went into storage still mostly together in a spare box!
From the Airfix Motor Racing header-carded, bagged-set 5089 Track Officials & Spectators, a set of twelve figures,
including 2 older fans seated.
The painted figure is Preiser I think? Not sure, he could be Merten, but he looks like earlier Preiser (they're all in storage so I'm going on what I can see, not
what I can check!) although I can't find him in either catalogues and he looks
a bit 'British' . . . flat-cap and newspaper, having a rant (speak for yourself
Hugh!), he may be O-gauge from Peco
or Slaters? What I do know is that he
doesn't belong with the 5089 figures.
