A photo of my Dinky Eagle ‘flying’ over our house in the UK, which must have been taken around 1976 – OK you can see the cotton 🙂

Following on from watching Apollo, Space: 1999 really captured my imagination as a child. It ultimately lead to my career in IT.

Around the real year 1999, I thought I was a lone fan – but the subsequent advent of social media has shown I’m far from alone in my love of Space: 1999 and Eagles! I finally had the pleasure of meeting several of the cast and Brian Johnson in Peterborough at the ALPHA: 2014 convention.
My collection of Eagles has grown, but I still have one of my original Dinkys.
