A boxed bright-red painted cast-lead Three-wheeled Thompson Refuelling Tender with spring "hose", made for the Skybirds range, as model 35A.
Details
The model has small silver metal wheels, carries the "TB" Thompson Brothers logo, and is subtly lettered as a Thompson Refuelling Tender.
Maker
The underside of the casting is simply marked "SKYBIRD", so we don't know which company actually manufactured the model.
