What a Genius....FireFlash the first ep of the Thunderbirds was an incredible plane..

It should be built by Boeing and flown commercially in his honor..

Same goes for Thunderbird 2...what a Beast..

Thanks Gerry...Love ya work.

Anderson had a brilliant imagination. A resusable rocket....hell NASA were still playing with Satrun V's lol A multiuse versatile container lifting plane,let alone it was VTOL. (The kestrel/ harrier was still but a prototype) .... brilliant stuff.

Who didnt imagine themselves as a Thunderbird !! , going down that elaborate crew slide ..lol

Thanks Gerry.

I'm a huge Fan from the very first episode I saw.

I spent much time over the last 12 months recording & copying TV shows onto DVD for my library. (I don't like much of todays TV) can't watch it.

What commitment from a huge talent, Gerry & the Anderson family.

Much appreciated Gerry..... ThunderBirds are Go!

Yes...I'm another fan, having the complete Thunderbirds collection on DVD as well as the complete Stingray, Fireball XL5, Joe 90, Captain Scarlett and Supercar DVD sets. It's nice to be able to step back into your childhood every now and then. Thanks Gerry!

[beelzebub 23,383]

Yes, I too used to wish I was a Spaceman

I can remember when I was 4 being given an XL-5 rocket toy. Bit lame by today it had a parachute you would fold up and it would fit inside. You threw it as high as you could and it would come sailing back down. Hours of fun.

In another salute to Gerry

A combination of a few of my favourite things; so again I say Mr Anderson, " thankyou very much ...uh huh !! "

Thunderbird 2 was my favourite.

I find sniffing people really annoying. Blow your noses morons.

If I'm sitting near a sniffer on the train, I move. Accordingly if I was sitting near Parker on a train, I'd move.

And I certainly wouldn't trust him with managing my money:

Disgusting habit. I have noticed more women are doing it where I once thought it was a failing of just men. From working and travelling in Asia its a very common behaviour.

But RIP Gerry Andersen for the great show. Having peoples photos where their eyes light up was ahead of its time.

And I thought the Late Show did a wonderful parody of the thunderbirds too. First saw them do it in their student days. Brilliant.

Scary character the Hood.....made Kojak look like a [censored].

Best impersonation I can remember was by Peter Cook and Dudley Moore on "Not Only But Also" - pure genius.
