Gabrielle Drake photos on Rex Features site.

Amelia's listing of the Rex Features photo archive gives gives us a
few more excellant photos of Gabrielle Drake to view. But there are a set of
photos of Gabrielle you can see on this site that are not listed under her
name. A few years ago when A&E was running a Biography of Roger Moore during
its James Bond Biography week they showed a publicity photo of Roger Moore in
the old model T Ford that sits outside the ATV offices that you see in UFO.
In the back of the care are three actresses, a redhead, a brunette, and a
blonde. Gabrielle was the brunette in the middle. Looking around the Rex
Features site I happen to find this photo was a set of three. To view the
set go to the Rex Features site at:

www.rexfeatures.com

then at the photo search site enter the number 80487. You will be told not
found but under this will be a link that says VIEW SET: 80487 Click on it and
you will be taken to the three photos. See if you can identify the two other
actresses.

The other two actresses are:-

Martha Hyer (left)
Veronica Carlson (right)

I don't think the model T ford is the one in Secret Service and UFO.
In fact they've mis-labelled these pictures, they're actually for the
film "Crossplot".

I see HLJ are advertising a Aoshima: SHADO Moonbase kit. I'm not sure
if this is a repop of the of the old Imai Kit? I suspect maybe it is,
as the image HLJ have is of the [re-issued] Imai kit. I suppose hope
springs eternal that it is a new kit. But, if not you get plenty of
styrene for your £25 spondulaks, and at that price a slip of the razor
saw is not terminal !! If it turns out to be the Imai kit, it does
form a good basis for a accurate and IMPRESSIVE model. The original
Imai [Doom Centre - as they chose to call it] sells
[or did !] for a couple thousand nicker. The Imai kit was briefly
re-issued last year complete with glorious and gorgeous box art, just
before they went belly up.

Maybe, Aoshima will reissue the Lunar Carrier and Module kit ????? now
that would be cool.

Anyway if nothing else, it make a change from all the Star Trek
crud/crap that is floating around at the moment.

Aoshima bought all of IMAI's molds. This is a re-issue.

Thanks for the info on the photos. I would have never thought of
Martha Hyer, I always remember her as playing blondes. Now that you have
told it is Veronica Carlson I can see the resemblance. I saw Crossplot
around 20 years ago and recall the use of the old cars to get away from the
villains. So the actresses and the and the car would seem to fit for
Crossplot. Good work!!
