I haven't seen a Thunderbirds episode in almost 30 years. But this
will be remedied when the US DVDs arrive. TB2 was my favorite. I
remember it as a very versatile and futuristic craft.

I'm sure you're right, but being a kid's show, it's not really
fair to hold TB to any serious scrutiny. UFO is different being an
adult series.

There's a Thunderbirds "Cross sections" book available at Fanderson.
Looks interesting. It would be nice if they did one for UFO.
