C is for Christmas Exhibition - 6 of . . . err . . . 5! - Tour Eiffel

While editing part three I noticed a reference to another model, and - upon returning to the library here in Fleet after Christmas - found that indeed there was a final model perched on top of the main cabinet, out of the way of the hands of smaller visitors!

It's Blackpool Tower I think, or maybe the Funktürm in Berlin . . . Ally-pally? One of those giant pylons anyway! From a Gloucestershire-based company - Apples to Pears - it's more Meccano-like stuff but with the aid of the modern IKEA furniture-construction tool; a hex-drive!

Joking apart, the Eiffel tower is extraordinary, as it's A) huge, compared to all its look-a-likes and B) was built on a whim with no end-use other than being looked at or enjoyed . . . and it's still there!

This one comes carefully packed in a small tin!
