a little (weeny) bit more info from the Leicester Mercury

and a teeny-tiny (tears) bit here (though frustratingly their link to the full article doesn't currently work, but I have emailed them about it)

Still don't know how much Action Force is on display. I'm sure that the Records Office have a boxed Escape Armour amongst their collection of Palitoy as I've seen it pictured. It may be that the display focuses more on the origins of the factory and other toys produced there.

Quite probable that any AF stuff at this exhibition will be stuff moved over from the permanent display at Snibston Discovery Park

Still, if you're in or near Leicester, I would think it would be worth a visit

here's a link to the councils AF/AM collection page

ETA: there had been a Palitoy exhibition at Donington Le Heath Manor House back in the summer - I wonder if it will be the same items?
