Yes I do remember the green dragon

toonfandangl · March 07, 2010, 11:35:06 AM

I did not work on it (The green Dragon) but remember seeing it being built I guess it would have been around for all of the seventies!........... all those Xmas's party's

Rhona · March 07, 2010, 01:13:09 PM

Guys! Guys! Guys! There was no green dragon

It was a yellow dragon with big colouredy spots all over it.........and it went round and round and up and down.....am I right? Mikey - back me up here....

They could have changed the colour Rhona! ........and there again it might have been what ever you youngster were on at the time

.......Yellow Dragon!!

Mike Voden (RIP) · March 08, 2010, 11:43:09 AM

I'm sure the singer Donovan had a song in the seventies with the words "They call it mellow yellow" somewhere in the verse.

Colour wise, I suppose it's what one was smoking at the time that determined what they saw...............

Rhona · March 08, 2010, 08:52:34 PM

Definitely yellow.........and I was too little to be smoking anything

toonfandangl · March 08, 2010, 11:39:29 PM

Rhona!...............The Green dragon

was built in 1970 at what age were you!! ........hope that is not a personal question.....

Alfred Boehme · March 09, 2010, 04:03:39 PM

It was also yellow with spots on maybe another dragon burnt it

toonfandangl · March 10, 2010, 10:30:57 AM
