    Craziest idea for a military vehicle

    As a kid in the 60s I remember being fascinated by the guest vehicle in the second THUNDERBIRDS episode Pit of Peril The walking US army vehicle also appeared in annuals and TV21 comic and a porcelain replica appeared a few years back. Watching the video again it would make David A furious but...

    Fictional future Britains

    Re-reading old comic strips like Dan Dare and TV21 I am struck by the absence of a Royal Family in their future Britain. In Dan Dare we are never told there is no monarch but names of various organisations and images of London suggest there is not one. Alan Fennell in TV21 is more specific...

    Those of you who remember the old Gerry Anderson tv shows may not remember a 60s comic called TV21. It had stories based on the Anderson shows but also a strip devoted to the Daleks but without a certain Doctor. I always wanted to see a crossover between the two worlds. Some years back I did a...

    The Fireball XL ship that never was....

    Those of us who grew up in the 1960s with the TV21 comic derived from the various Gerry Anderson TV shows remember the weird and wonderful machines featured. After my BAOC Fireflash I decided to revisit Fireball XL5. In the TV21 summer special of 1966 there was a brief glimpse of a possible...

    Floating cities

    This is an idea that seems to be coming back into fashion. I have a bit of a suspicion that with the concept below, someone may have looked up the old hard engineering data from the production of Waterworld as part of their background research...
