Mag covers through the ages

Looking around my PC's HD I found some more great images from mags up for sale on EBay. Great spreads of internal detail and what not. Makes for a great slideshow when the PC is idle!
First one is for the many Mossie fans. From Airfix mag I think.

Here's a weird plane - one that looks like it has one engine but has two. The Fairey Gannet was a great plane and we used to have one on the display circuit till it went to the US. I think it is back now. Hope to see it again. I bet the Royal navy FAA regretted the demise of the AEW Gannet more than most other planes it had on its carriers when the Falklands War came along. Talk about throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

Here's the last one for today and by way an experiment as they can be quite big. Some more Ebay sales included the mag Take-Off one of those 'collect the set' mags you end up spending a fortune on.

No, it does not fly. It also lacks a spinner but it does act as the, would be, gate guard along with two Hellhound missiles.
 
there's a Gannet at flambards, a local small theme park type thing, it's in bad condition as they don't look after it, the cornwall aero park used to be down there and they used to have a restored beaufighter, but they sold it, and most of the other planes, to pay for the rides, that pisses me off, now it's still the cornwall aero museum, and they have

The gannet sitting out in the car park in a very run down state
a westland Wessex (well whopedy doo)
and the nose section of a shackleton which is pretty cool, but that's it!!
 
Here's another selection for the conoisseurs.

Something for everyone near enough. These aren't quite so good coz you can't quite read the small print.
