Commando at the National Army Museum (2011) - part 1

Looking through some of photos the other day I came across a bunch from 2011 that had somehow never been recycled onto the blog. To make up for that here's my first batch of images from the 2011/12 Commando themed exhibition that ran at the National Army Museum (in London's Chelsea). My original review for it is here

Here's the Commando team - Calum Laird on the left, Scott Montgomery in the middle and George Low on the right.

UPDATED: Commando calendar

The Commando calendar for 2020 is now available to buy here and it's an Ian Kennedy special, check out these (small, sorry) images they've teased...

...and here are my notes about other Commando calendars...

Looking at my Ian Kennedy calendar the other day made me start wondering about precisely how many Commando calendars there were out there for the collector...

Not published by DC Thomson (but produced under licence from them) this large calendar (it's about twice the size of the Ian Kennedy calendar, above) was the first Commando calendar to be produced. This was sold mainly in bargain bookshops. 

UPDATED: 2007's 'The art of Commando' calendar 

By 2009 the licence for producing a calendar had changed hands - covers selection is by Calum Laird (better image now used).

Then there was a good run of 3 years in a row when the calendar came out...

Commando calendar 2012

Commando calendar 2013

Commando calendar 2014

Then a few fallow years until 2018...

Commando calendar 2018

Commando calendar 2019

While I don't have all the Commando calendars above, here's a calendar that I REALLY wish I'd got at the time...2009 saw two DC Thomson calendars from 'Unique' (the Art of Commando is shown above) and this is the second one....

There was also an official 'The art of Commando' calendar for 2007 but I can't find an image for it :(
