Reminiscing isn't what it used to be...

Hi All :)

Finally, back from being repaired once again - this is getting monotonous, sorry about this /-|

Anyway, whilst recuperating I started looking through my rather large archive of magazines, comics - most scanned and digitally archived, etc. ... from a time when the world wasn't quite as barmy as it it now... what on earth has been going on???

I picked out a few UFO related items and here are some links to some page scans ... enjoy :)

I really hope that these are of interest. I have a large archive of comics and magazines from such times, even a complete set of Countdown etc.

Anyway, I had fun reminiscing... I was only a very young kid, but it seems like yesterday in some ways.

Best to you all ... please be nice to each other, time is an extremely valuable commodity, I know that only too well.

Hi All...

For some reason, the LINKS in the email version of my message didn't work... But, they do on the SHADO site. Weird, but hey...

Griff

The links work in my email....probably some sort of email/forum incompatibility somewhere... the Internet has gotten too complicated... :-)

Oh, and thank you very much for scanning/uploading these pages, Griff!  I haven't seen some of these, and probably these should be archived somewhere... :-)

Hi Marc,

 ..."and probably these should be archived somewhere..."

Yes, I think you're right.

Fortunately, I know of a GREAT site called www.ufoseries.com who have a fantastic archive of all UFO related material...

Thanks!

Best to all :)
