Dunno but it would make a great caption competition: "Poor old Goon, if only his brakes had worked properly".

I'm still puzzling as to how the Pantomime Cat illustration depicts anything in the story!

Oh, I know this one! It's the one where the FFO investigate the gang who are stealing roads and skies and leaving just a blank green-ness behind... The Mystery of the Missing Scenery?

The Mystery Of The Strange Cover, sorry Bundle..
Many thanks Eddie - your answer was of course correct.
Thanks again to Tony for all the scans which we have been able to enjoy.
I will conclude with a depiction of the Find Outers that amazingly is not even contained in The Cave which surely captures the essence of the greatest child detecting group the world has ever seen!

A wonderful depiction worthy of the great Betty herself.
A great quiz Pete, thanks again for curating it.
