Catapults Mid Fifties
A Memory of Warlingham.
This brings back when us local lads would venture into the bike shop where he also sold modelling bits and pieces. By far the best elastic for our catapaults (sprogs) was 1/4inch elastic, we had to convince the bloke that it was for model aircraft so that he would sell us a couple of feet.
I just remembered also, that he used to sell a 'Penny Farthing Bike' made of fairly heavy duty stiff wire and a heavy 'flywheel' on the front around which we'd wind a bit of string and pull sharply, thus spinning the wheel, we then placed it upright on the pavement and it would take off for a few feet.
