IN AND OUT OF THE EAGLE 58

The BBC television series The Bidding Room in which people bring interesting items to sell to dealers who bid against each other to buy them, featured a 1950s 'Dan Dare' Planet Gun, complete with its original box and all its 'spinning missiles' in its 5th December programme. The seller found it in a house she had recently bought and the successful collector paid £ 110 for it. The Planet Gun came in several colours and the one featured was red with a green barrel rather than the black barrel on the box.
