Sad news about Gerry Anderson, the creator of Thunderbirds passing away today. He was 83.

He was an important part of my childhood, and I was fortunate enough to go and watch Thunderbirds actually being made at Slough when I was a kid as the father of one of my classmates was involved in the production. I have been a fan all my life and still am, so a sincere thank you to also a genuinely nice guy who I had the pleasure of meeting on a few occasions many years after meeting him as a kid.

RIP

Sad

I also grew up with thunderbirds Et al

Four feather Falls - Tex Tucker
Fireball XL5 - Steve Zodiac and Venus (foxy chick)
Supercar - Mike Mercury and Mitch the Monkey
Thunderbirds - you know all these dudes
Stingray - Troy Tempest
Captain Scarlet
Joe 90 - by this time I was growing out of it but still watched!
