It's staggering to think its closer to 60 years ago than 50. The kit  was only available as part the Lyon Maid Zoom offer.

 

This is perhaps what you remember from TV 21.

OH WOW! That's probably it. Which ever it was, the XL5 kit was a real beauty (at the time). Thanks for the memories.

Yet if they cut it from 9/- to 4/6, does this mean they had a load left?

 

 

My take is, they are trying to convey if the kit was available to buy in the shops it would be a 9/- kit and your two Zoom wrappers were worth 4/6. At 9/- it would would have been really expensive kit.
