Trying to find an Eagle Annual with a Dan Dare Xmas story

Hi all, and apologies if this is an inappropriate place for a post like this.

I'm trying to find a particular edition of the Eagle Annual which I remember from my childhood - I can only remember two things about it:

1) it was one of the red cover/green spine (1950s?) editions;

2) it included a Dan Dare strip set around Christmas time, in which Digby is excited about a christmas pudding (plum duff).

Before I go nuts and buy every edition I can find on ebay, I thought I'd see if anyone could point me in the right direction and save me some money. I'd be very grateful for any advice.

Thanks in advance,

Al.

@aldownie: is it possibly this one?

Eagle #952 (Issue)

Try the Eagle Annual Info website : http://www.EagleAnnual.info/

There's a reference to Dan Dare and Christmas in the 1975 annual, but this is not one of the "red cover" annuals

See http://www.eagleannual.info/eagle_annual_1975.php

If you look through the contents descriptions for the red cover annuals you might spot it. Start at http://www.eagleannual.info/eagle_annual_1.php and then click on "Next" to progress through the years.

Just had a quick look through my annuals and it looks like it is Eagle Annual 5 with Dan Dare - Operation Plum Pudding.

Looks like I need to update the Eagle Annual info pages to include the subtitles to each of the Dan Dare stories...

A thousand apologies! I thought I'd ticked a box to receive email notifications of any replies, but must have duffed it. Thank you *very* much for your replies - it does sound like 'Operation Plum Pudding' is the one I'm looking for! Fantastic - now off to start watching eBay.

Cheers,

Al.
