.....and I to my boyhood, when the highlight of the week was to run down to the newsagent and get the "Lion" comic ( which was printed on newsprint quality paper, though partly in colour), and the "Eagle" ( all colour, glossy paper...much more expensive). "Lion" had wonderful 'see-through' drawings of famous aircraft that were exquisitely drawn.....I can still recall the fresh newsprint smell !! Thanks for the memory, Henk !
