Matchbox/Lesney 73a; Leyland Hippo RAF 10 Ton Pressure Refueller; RAF Blue, Grey Plastic Wheels

 Matchbox 1-75 Range

 

The 73a Pressure Refueller was in the Lesney range from 1958 to 1962, a fairly short run for a Matchbox. It was always RAF blue and can have either black or grey plastic wheels. Black wheels are ultra rare and very valuable.
