Wow thanks for posting George. Another childhood memory fades away.

My Dad worked on Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet (original series) I was exposed to lots of footage on 35mm film through a movieola editing machine during my summers holidays spent at the studios with my Dad. I still have some footage here at the house on a reel somewhere of a puppet drowning in a cave.

Although Gerry Andersons name is synonymous with all this stuff, the alleged brains behind it all was his first wife Sylvia.

A sad loss though, I believe he had dimentia. A good friend of mine who is a film producer knew Gerry Anderson personally, and told me a horrific story a few weeks back...really very scary.

RIP Gerry Anderson,

Jay
