Hi Ghosthunter,

I think when the picture was taken it must have been very windy or someone @ Lesney back in the early '70s had a really good sense of humor.

I have revised this post because I added more variations of the K51A Barracuda.

Couple of play worn prepro,s, yellow model has K23 on the base with an incomplete date. J
