Tyco House, Globe Park, Marlow, is not very far from where I live, should I go in and see if they have any free gifts!

Matchbox R&D is no longer there nowadays, thanks to Mattel. I got that model when I was there being one of those "Official Visitors" back in 1995. The visit was part of the programme of the 10th UK MICA Convention.

This is what the building looked like back then, with a group of conventioneers in front of it:

I am trying to see if I can see myself in that picture. I remember being a part of the group that went around the Tyco building. I also still own my example of that red Ford Model T that was given to us. I think my parents have one each as well, as they were also there.

:) :D :P
