Can you believe they flew those things across the Atlantic?

I read of where an H-19 crew in AK was ordered to fly their chopper to the Sikorsky factory in CT for some upgrades. It was winter and they chose to fly down to the South, across the Southern USA and then back up the East Coast to CT. When they finally arrived they were informed that they had just completed the longest helicopter flight in history.

I Visited the John Glen Museum just outside of Wapakoneta Ohio And was surprised to learn that the A/C on Static display was not a F4D Skyray, but 1 of 4 F5D Skylancer's built learned something on this work trip!I have passed it on I-75 for years and just stopped this week

Not part of my world I guess. Never heard of. I guess that's why I can't think of him?

I thought that was a Skyray too.

He created a number of TV shows in the fifties and sixties. Most involved marionettes (Supermarionation) and fanciful, futuristic aerospace miniatures. Supercar, Fireball XL-5, Stingray, Thunderbirds, Space 1999, etc.
My Thunderbird 2 is now residing in Thailand.

Ok so I know the shows, never knew the model designer. I'm not really good at reading the credits and never watched much of the shows themselves. One or two Thunderbirds that I recall.

 

[SaparotRob]

I don't think Gerry Anderson actually designed the more "famous" models himself. He does get the credit though. I know Brains designed the Thunderbirds

But who did the Star Trek models? The Romulan Bird of Prey, The Enterprise , Klingon Battle Cruser? The Space 1999 Eagle? These are the questions?
