Your advances got turned down by a puppet!

I rather fancied Grandma in TB's but that bird in Stingray seemed a bit fishy to me.

While talking about Thunderbirds I always felt sorry for John Tracey in Thunderbird 5. Was he the black sheep of the family and had been sent to a space station on his own just to answer emergency calls?

I always though he was he most useless hence him staying up there on his own.

Virgil was definitely my personal favourite, driving Thunderbird 2 which you could easily pretend to be with your hand - thumb and little finger point the right way for a perfect copy (!)

Don't get me started on that Scott Tracy - arrogant git always got their first in TB1, but could never fix anything until Virgil turned up with the kit.

Destiny, Melody, Harmony, Symphony and Rhapsody

Had to be Destiny every time.

But only up until the none string operated ones turned up in UFO working on moonbase - they had hot uniforms and liked to get changed into hotter civvies on screen.

And Alan, alway sniffing round TinTin, just to hide that he was raving shirt lifter.

Thanks, wiser after 45+ years. My younger brother will be equally pleased, although I suspect he knows and wanted me to be kept in the dark about it.

There was one civil aircraft with forward swept wings in the style of TB2, the Hansa Jet, a German Business jet design from the sixties/seventies.
