Since the inception of the MMM lists, and the creation of my website, I've been sent many interesting photos, articles, and ephemera that relate to Major Matt Mason. I had previously included all this "stuff" in the MMMarchive section of my site. I think that it is more appropriately included in the Resources section, so I have moved all to it's new home here. I've also included some new items of interest...

 Soaring with the Eagles!
Martin is a huge UK collector of Major Matt Mason and Gerry Anderson collectibles (such as Space: 1999). These images are of figures posed next to large-scale models that were actually used in production.
Martin writes: " thought these pics may be of interest and maybe of use for the fun page. A pal of mine owns an original 44 Inch Eagle from SPACE:1999. The guys are a little too big but are almost small enough to look just right. After Commander Koenig and his pals took over MMM's base in the 1970s when Mattel re-used elements of the base for their SPACE:1999 playset Doug and Matt thought they may just commandeer this baby for a quick flight. The Eagle is one of the three largest built for the actual series. This 'miniature' was the second one built for the series and is 44 inches long. It is a little beat up but remains in pretty much the condition it was when the series finished filming it is owned by my friend Andrew Frampton who has a magnificent collection of props and costumes from SPACE:1999 and the other Gerry Anderson programmes"
You can praise Martin here.

Charles Burke's Great Tattoo!
Here's something you don't often see, a MMM fan to the extreme! Charles writes:
"I just wanted to take a moment to express my thanks to everyone connected
with this group. I have found it invaluable. When I first went online I
found Don Thomson who always amazed me with the speed of his replies to my
questions. Through Don I found Larry Chinn who has almost singlehandedly
rebuilt my collection. People have said it before and I'll say it again.
Larry is the greatest. Currently, I'm looking for some kind of mmm 12 step
program because I think maybe I'm completely hooked on the major. On behalf
of people like me who rarely post messages to the group, I just wanted to
say thanks. Oh..and I'm including my new Major Matt Mason tattoo. (Hello,
my name is Charles and I'm a Mattaholic...)
regards, Charles"

Larry and John at the San Diego Comic Con
Larry Chinn, his fiancee Jenny (physically taking the picture) and I finally had the opportunity to meet at the San Diego Comic Con a few years ago (Larry and Jenny have subsequently gotten married...their kid is below...). It's great to meet a fellow MMM collector...everyone should try it! I'm the dweeb on the right. Bob Burden, creater of Flaming Carrot Comics is in his booth in the background. You can ridicule Larry about this and the following photo here.

Sable as an Astronaut
Larry sent this photo out during Christmas as a "Christmas Card" to all the mmm fans. The shot features his cat Sable, who also wants to join MMM in space (or at least in the box!)
