Noted his passing recently, and watched a couple episodes of Thunderbirds. I was impressed. I also think that building all those miniatures, and sets for them to appear in, would be way more fun than sitting in front of a computer, programming CGI.
I've seen other examples of the 'graft this onto a plane to try it out' method. They remind of the nose-mounted missiles on the UFO (British TV) series.

Very much so!
ReplyDeleteIronically the B-57 was also a license built version of the English Electric Canberra, thus closing the loop back to the home of Gerry Anderson.

B-57 looks interesting. It may be one of the USAF historical planes.
