I took my Meccano Velocipede to Mongolia and demonstrated it to the Eagle Hunters family. Check out the look of awe on the kids faces. This eagle hunter used eagles to catch foxes in winter, not many eagle hunters around. In the photos you can see his Gers (yurt), where he lives, the view and the inside of his Ger, him trying to throw a boomerang (bought from a souvenir shop in Sydney, lousy boomerang). I believe he told his kids he made the Meccano model, so it was translated to me!. Yurts are Mongolian, Kazakhstan they are called Gers, he lived close to Kazakhstan…. along way from anywhere!
