new Sky One photo

Hi all,

Another new photo on my UFO website, this one of Sky One in flight:

This is a scan from a 2 1/4" transparency that Doug Pelton was
kind enough to loan to me.

Doug Pelton ... tall, lanky guy from Canada with a big moustache? Haven't
heard of him for ages. He was a great friend when I was in my local Fanderson
group, he came over for a couple of cons and yep, I have a photo of us all
together at one ... somewhere.

Regards,
Claire

Yes, I thought you'd like that... :-)

The only problem I still have is the correct color for Sky One. I've
now got 3 different photos of Sky One on my "hardware photos" page,
and each one has a distinctly different color! My suspicion is that
Sky One is a kind of brownish color, although many times it appears
in photographs to be a greenish color. The original scan yesterdays
new addition was a sort of blue-ish color, which I adjusted to make
it a bit more brown.

Also, Paolo Malaguti emailed me to note that the new photo of Joan
Harrington has an accurate color for the purple wig, which often
appears too red in photos (even the DVD's aren't that accurate
when it comes to the wig color). Paolo should know, since he
has one of the original purple wigs...

yesterdays Hey Marc,

Sky-1 always looked like it had a Golden or Gold Metallic Look to
it. Hope I'm not Causing Any Trouble for You.

As I recall, the color of Skydiver was Ford Oyster Gold.... a popular
color in the sixties. Where you may find it these days is a tough one.
You should be able to find a match at most car paint suppliers. The
nose of the Sky 1 was another gold metallic that I can't recall at the
moment, but will check my notes.

best,
KK

Interesting, as I noticed that most of the old Fords used that colour
(Cortina, Capri, Granada, Escort):

It is still used by GM:

And amazingly, Halfords still sell it!!

Incidentally, I have seen mobiles in grey, green and blue, so any
ideas on that one? One thing I do know was the interceptors were pale
blue, but they came out white on the show because yellow filters were
used on the studio lights.

Cheers
Rob

Could it be that the differing colours of vehicles was in some way
down to the way they were lit and filmed/photographed? In a similar
way, the wig that Cesar Romero wore as the Joker was green, but on
film sometimes appeared to be anything but.
