Green with Envy

Hot on the heels of Andys Dan Dare models come more of his Treen ships! Splendid work again. While i was working on the article, I came across a couple of bits of Treen trivia, theres a place called 'Treen' in Cornwall, which i've been through many times on holiday and in greek mythology, 'MEKON' was a man loved by the goddess Demeter who was metamorphosed into a poppy flower.Excuse me if this is blindingly obvious tot the Dare Intelligentsia!

  3. Dan Dare still influences modern culture. There's a cool cafe in Headingley called Dare with a great simple rocket design on the menus. There's also a milk company called Dan Dairies near here!
