Thunderbirds Launches and Landings HD

I am 65 this year and talking my mum who has Alzheimer disease we I needed to show her the things I watched as a child... When I showed this her face lot up... She remembered Thunderbirds! We laughed as I conducted the theme tune! Memories of a long ago childhood! Wonder-full!

You have to recognize the sheer genius of modeling, and miniaturizing that happened in Thunderbirds. Every scene is so imaginative. Really good stuff.

This is just wonderful. I watched this as a boy and loved it all, but now I'm 69 and happened across this video. I realise just how much artistry and sheer hard work went into making these series. Having a model is one thing, but making it behave as though it has real mass, hitting the water and behaving as a heavy craft ... the very realistic jets on the engines (how did they do that) and the logistical problems of stringed marionettes walking through doors etc was sheer genius. And all of the series were so inventive. The music, too. Jerry and Sylvia Anderson were geniuses.

My favorite show as a kid back in the late 60's. Never missed it! Thunderbird 2 was always my favorite.

I'm 55 yrs old and I still want to be the pilot of Thunderbird 2 , best job in the world .

As a model railroader, I have to say the construction of the sets and planes has an amazing level of detail and creativity. He sure built a world to go play - excuse me, FLY in!

I`ll be 65 years old Japanese man this month. Thunderbirds was broadcast in Japan in 1960`s when I was an elementary school boy. A lot of Japanese boys including myself were hooked on Thunderbirds at that time. This footage reminds me of my beautiful childhood. Oh, yes! I was also crazy for Captain Scarlet, Stingray and UFO too!

Man, the sheer brilliance these puppeteers and modelers had back then. It's awesome to see.

Watching Thunderbirds as a child, I just loved the stories. As an adult, I can see that it's among the most imaginative and technically accomplished children's TV series ever made.

I'm six years of age, it's 6:00am and the Thunderbirds are just about to begin. My dad is about to bring me blackcurrant juice to start my day. "Come in The Darka Juice Man", I bellow, as he knocks on my door. We just got colour TV in Australia. Now 44 years on, it still means a lot to me when I see anything Thunderbirds-related and always makes me smile.

TB2が運ぶポッドには、TB4以外にも記憶に残る装備があって、ジェット・モグラ・タンクが子供の頃好きでした。 当時、幼稚園児だった私には、プラモデルのギミックは難しくて作れず、隣に住む中学生の兄ちゃんの作ったモデルをワクワクしながら観ていたものです…。 The pods carried by the TB2 had other memorable equipment besides the TB4, and I liked the jet mogura tank (The mole)as a kid. At that time, as a kindergarten child, I couldn't make a plastic model gimmick because it was difficult, so I was excited to see the model made by my neighbor older brother, a junior high school student .

I nearly fell into tears watching this video. I loved Thunderbirds as a kid back in the 60s and the music was also a masterpiece.

No matter how many times I've seen the vehicles launch, it never gets boring.

Nothing beats the original series. It's all heart & soul. Supermarionation is a lost art. The people behind them were the absolute masters.

The music is simply phenomenal...the ideas and thinking light years ahead of its time...we wereso lucky to grow up with Thunderbirds, Stingray, Captain Scarlet, Joe 90 and Fireball XL5...Watching them all again as an adult and realising just how good these programmes were...genius

I'm 71 years old. I remember all these series. Never lost anyone. Thanks for the opportunity to see them again. Amazing creation. Super advanced on that time.

It still amazes me how superb this was filmed back in the 60's, no CGI at all..

誰が何と言おうと究極の実写です。未だにこれを超える作品は無い。

I'm 19 and my parents introduced me to Thunderbirds when I was little. That song you hear during the launches is etched into my brain to the point where I could play it on my trumpet by hearing and memory alone. Gosh I love Thunderbirds :D

One of my favorite shows when I was a kid. The sixties were such a cool time. Thanks for this.
