2001 - a Bourne Hall odyssey

Since it's the last day of the Frank Hampson exhibition at Bourne Hall museum (in Surrey) today I thought I'd look back at what a similar exhibition (at the same location) in 2001 looked like...

This was organised by the 'Eagle exhibition' that toured the country in the early 2000s thanks to the generosity of a few collectors. Here are some of my pictures of that exhibition

Mekon statue and rare merchandise

Frank Hampson commission with Digby saying "One fighting unit ready for duty sir!"

Rare art and merchandise

More rare art and merchandise

I think this was meant to be a recreation of Frank's studio in Epsom

The mocked up Eagle cover below was Keith Watson's job application for a job with Frank Hampson!
