80s toy/game

[timstar]

There was a toy/game around late 70s, early 80s which involved flying a jet fighter (which i seem to remeber was yellow plastic), anyone remeber the name?

Yeah, FLIGHT DECK. You slid a Sea Harrier down a bit of string onto a cardboard aircraft carrier, and the game was to raise another bit of string to stop it going over the end to a watery (for watery read carpety) grave. As a point of interest, the hook on the plane always broke off, the stickers fell off, and it was generally cr*p. The plane was initially gray but was later reissued yellow for some reason. I know this because I mithered and mithered and mithered and mithered my parents for it, and when I got it I nearly died of disappointment. I should've gone with TANK COMMAND all along.

The clamp that held the string always fell off whatever you clamped it to (not that you could ever find anything the right height). I don't think I ever "landed" successfully.
