no ones had a go yet shame on you!!!!!!!!

I know the sister ships to the Titanic were the Olympic and the Britannic but thats about as far as I got!!

I would stab a guess at Airfix's best seller as one of the 1/72nd Spitfires but most of the rest I haven't got a clue.

I actually consider myself an old fart for remembering Fireball XL 5 as I bet there are a fair number who do not know what you are talking about!!

The biggest island before Australia could even be the UK but that is only guess work.

If you are into Gerry and Sylvia Anderson productions (and the first Thunderbirds I ever saw where they landed Fireflash on top of the tractors that came out of the pod of Thunderbird Two put me onto modelling forever!!) then which was the first one, long before Fireball XL5?

[AerynPk]

first puppet show The Adventures Of Twizzle

titanic sisters were RMS Olympic and HMS Britanic

Airfix best selling model Spitfire MK 1

Porfessionals doyles 1st name is bill

7 planes on barrys workbench

leutinant green 1st name was winston

australia was still the biggest island but it was not discovered

ingrid pitt in vampire lovers

zoonie was venus pet name

 

[Bunkerbarge]

OK I wouldn't be so cruel as to say you are wrong but "The Adventures of Twizzle" and "Torchy the Battery Boy" were both produced before Gerry and Sylvia Anderson were accredited with the production.

The first thing they produced together was generally accepted as "Four Feather Falls" but you are the only one with any idea so all credit to you.

I have to say though that the first one I remember watching (the first time it went out!!) was "Supercar". I don't even want to find out what year it was!

 

[AerynPk]

super car was first shown in January 28th 1961

and plus yes that was gerrys first ever but syvia and gerrys 1st production was supercar the order of the puppets show that they produced were

supercar 1961

fireball xl5 1962

stingray 1963

thunderbirds 1964-65 series one series 2 was 1966 which was produced after thunderbirds are go film

then captain scarlett in 1967

thunderbirds 6 came out in 1967 as well

Joe 90 1967-68 which was not produced by gerry at all

 

[Bunkerbarge]

Amazing how you remembered all that!
