    I remember seeing a doco about the show years ago... F.A.B just means fab was a slang or saying in the sixties when the orginal puppet show was made.

    Thanks. My "search" didn't work as well.
    Saw "FOB" on a number plate, with "Freight On Broad" on the plate frame. Triggered "Thunderbird" memories, but my old grey matter couldn't remember if it was "FAB" or "FOB". Ya know how silly little things can bug ya LOL.

    I love Thunderbirds! I know all the episodes off by heart, so now I have to get really really wasted when I watch them, so they all seem new and surprising.
    Here's a trailer for a proposed new series that never got made... looks awesome!

    BTW, A mate of mine owns the plate "FAB001" with the msg "5-4-3-2-1 Thunderbirds are Go!" on it. Wonder how much that would be worth in the collectors market?

    Brains used the name Mr HACKENBACKER in one of the episodes I think the one with the super airliner!
    I must admit their inventions were pretty out there none of them would've had any real chance of flying in the real world but hey Imagination is a great gift!!!!

    The house keepers name is KERANO and he was the HOODs twin and the hood used his psychokinetic powers to fuck him up and make him do his bidding!!!!!
