Following on from a recent post on Down the Tubes yesterday (here) I thought I should fish out my collection of programmes related to the exhibition - and a few other exhibitions too...
Update...I've now included a leaflet from the 1962 exhibition all about 'Supercar' - contains a comic strip by Eric Eden (who worked on the original Dan Dare strip amongst other things).

Here's an image swiped from ebay showing the '61 brochure complete with blue badge - check out the '57 brochure image above with red badge. I've got both badges but up until now haven;t been able to link them to a particular exhibition year.

The update I have is that I have recently come across this piece of ephemera relating to the (1958) exhibition...a recent £3 bargain on ebay
and now this recent eBay find...a fantastic leaflet complete with (an Eric Eden drawn) comic strip...
Love the artwork on that 1956 programme. Wouldn't mind having that in my own collection.
