I think the uniform could be that of the Gordon Highlanders. The badge and sporran are similar or the same.

The Lighter Side / Re: Which Childhood Toy Would you Bring Back?
« on: Tuesday 07 March 23 11:36 GMT (UK) »
My father was a ships carpenter, every night he would bring home off cuts of wood for lighting the fire in the morning. Those off cuts of wood mainly machined smooth and sometimes in complex shapes were my toys. With imagination they became houses, castles, cars, lorries etc. The beauty of it was that there seemed an endless supply.
I remember having a die cast (I think) Standard Vanguard Beetle back car with a small jockey wheel in-between the 2 front wheels. On the top of the roof there was a pinion connected to the wheel, a rubber tube connected the pinion to a small steering wheel so as long as you had three hands you could push it and steer it as well!
I reckon my favourite was again a die cast spud gun. It was better than caps a decent sized potato could keep you armed for quite some time.
