WWII toy aeroplane bought in Bristol fetches £10,000
A toy aeroplane bought in a Bristol shop during World War II has fetched £10,000 at auction.
The plane was purchased as a Christmas present in 1940 but its pristine condition suggests it was a gift that was never given.
Cataloguer Simon Clark and Jeremy Gyles from Gyles Brothers - the shop which sold the plane 72 years ago - talk about what makes the plane unique.
