FAB No More

Post by sprior »

Gerry Anderson died today. I grew up with Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet and Space 1999. Another childhood hero gone. Rest well.

As a kid growing up, Thunderbirds was the business. My eldest little Warspite got into it when it became popular again in the mid-2000's, attracting a whole new army of little fans.

I have little metal models of Thunderbirds 1, 2, 3 and 4 on display in my study.

RIP Gerry Anderson [&o]

Of these I remember Fireball XL5, we probably got swamped by American cartoons in that era.
