Time to give this thread a bump. Here is a good enough reason.

Richard was very generous in allowing me this one in part exchange when I returned his beautiful AMF. Love this cover and it's one of the scarcer late issues. True colors are more vivid than the scan shows. Thanks so much buddy!

I agree! Kudos to jpex for posting it. On a side note, I was at Disneyworld last year and the revamped "Mission to Mars" ride" was my favorite. They spin you around in a centrifuge similar to what is used for pilot and astronaut training and it's very intense compared to the original. Sounds like they will soon be testing fitness before allowing access to the rides! (Only pilots and astronauts allowed.)

Wonderful! Pat, you know an awful lot more than me about this UK stuff - and it's my island!

It's a shame the ride was never built. The attraction's designers, Messmore and Damon, had a long history of building extraordinary animated mechanical devices. smithsonian.org link: Messmore and Damon A few years ago I posted an article about them that I found at the Modern Mechanix website: http://blog.modernmechanix.com/man-of-the-monsters/ Fascinating

Thanks BZ - I've not progressed that far with the facsimile editions yet.

I don't have them scanned, but I do have facsimiles of the early ones - and I think up to the bedsheet issues at least they are white borders? Am I right BZ? Beyond that, I don't exactly know when white became red.
