Book from my childhood

The Biggles Books by Captain W.E. Johns. I love the innocence, the sense of fair play, the Political Incorrectness that now has most of them banned from Libraries. I still re-read them occasionally. I have all but a handful - most picked up at car boot sales for a few pence, and some are now going for hundreds of pounds on ebay. I finally have a retirement plan :-)


ON ANOTHER NOTE: HELP!

I remember reading a set of books when I was much much younger (sometime in the early-mid 70s) called something like "Captain Crustak and the Crusticons" - a series about a secret lab, a mad professor with giant crabs (robotic possibly) that would do his bidding. Trying to remember the name, the author, the plots is driving me nuts, and I'm now at the point where I think I'm making it up.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Or is my obsession with giant robotic crabs simply a glimpse into what my retirement plan will be spent covering.

Sounds like
Captain Cobweb and the Giant Crustaceans. There was a series of Captain Cobweb books - and I'm pretty sure I remember one with giant crabs in it...
