Humpy

 This Camel was originally released by the American company, Tusko, in the mid-1950s.  By 1961, Robinson Partners were also offering the ride as part of their range here in the UK, under the name of "Humpy".  I am still unclear as to whether Robinson Partners were importing the rides directly from the USA, or were making them here under the license of Tusko.  Robinson Partners were also selling "Jumbo", another Tusko ride, at the same time.
