Hard to make it out at this resolution but behind Stan Lee’s shoulder it looks like there’s a sign for his appearance at Forbidden Planet on 18 April 1987.
That’s the branch in Denmark Street, London, which they moved from not long afterwards.

Was Flo Steinberg in Deacon Herb Trimpe’s biplane?
Trimpe was a former USAF Metrologist who had been attached to 1st CAV in Vietnam. He was an Episcopal Church Deacon at St. Andrews in New Paltz, NY for many years and. after his comics career, he became a high school art teacher, He also was a private pilot who owned a biplane,
Trimpe & Joe Sinnott were fairly active in the community ib Uster County and were covered frequently in The Times Herald Record.

Danny Crespi was such a great guy. A truly lovable curmudgeon. It’s too bad virtually no one remembers him, esp. considering how vital he was to getting Marvel comics out in the 1980s…
