1982 leaflet, soon after the event opened. The exhibit is titled "Space 1999" but the short description and illustration is from "Thunderbirds". Entrance was £3.
Two 1986 leaflets, with the same cover and contents, but different maps. The yellow map is the older leaflet ("over 80 attractions" on the cover; the blue map is later ("over 100 attractions" on the cover). The "Talbot Street" section no longer mentions Space 1999, although you can find it in the map keys (62 in the blue map, 70 in the yellow map). Entrance was £5.99.
