‘Thunderbirds are GO!’ The rallying cry of many children’s adventure games in the 1960s and 70s.
Thunderbirds is a British science-fiction television series filmed with electronic puppets, a process known as ‘supermarionation’. Set in 2065, it features International Rescue, a top-secret life-saving organization run by ex-astronaut Jeff Tracy.
Operating from a South Pacific island, International Rescue sends supersonic aircraft and high-tech vehicles to avert disasters and foil evil plots. The Thunderbirds are piloted by Tracy’s 5 sons – Scott, John, Virgil, Gordon, and Alan – supported by engineer Brains, London agent Lady Penelope, and her wily butler, Parker.
