Dan Dare's spacesuit . . . used by studio members when posing for photographic reference shots (Hampson's artwork would combine the best elements of his colour visuals and photographs based on the these preliminaries).

Photographs on the walls (left to right), Eric Eden, Harold Johns and Marcus Morris, together with artifacts from Hampson's studio (including breastplate prop used for Hampson's post Dare strip, The Road of Courage - the story of Jesus of Nazareth).
