At last the recognition it deserves.
My Dad used to take me out late afternoon early evening when I was four years old and he'd say "if you can read this sign I'll give you two shillings". I knew I could usually wrangle it up to a half crown, the price of the best comic ever, TV21. I learned to read well aged four because I had the best incentive any kid could have anywhere, anytime, TV21 was the highlight of the week and the entire family used to read it.
I know the Mole is an iconic fan favourite, but for me the Firefly has always been my favourite pod vehicle. Yet I never knew about the rear water canon!
Why did we never see it used? it would've been mad cool!!!
I just realised that it doesn't have independent drive for the tacks.
This is where one tack can move backwards while the the other moving forward making turning quicker
(This system was first designed for the famous Churchill series of tanks of ww2 and has been used by many tanks ever since).
@@harryjohnson9215 I think it does. Of the top my head I think it turns that way at the start of Terror In New York City. I'd need to rewatch the episode to be sure
Thanks to Mr. Tracy for clearing up a host of questions regarding the Firefly. We all appreciate being in the "inner circle" of the Thunderbirds with these Tech Talks!
My favourite pod vehicle!
A perfect start to a Saturday morning. I went to sleep to your podcast and woke up to this. I'm a child again. 👍👍
Another fantastic pod vehicle for International Rescue and another favourite pod vehicle transported aboard Thunderbird 2.
Fantastic craft. I wondered what the equipment on the Firefly's rear equipment bed was. Thank you for enlightening me!
I like the Firefly, it's second only to the Mole as one of the best POD Vehicles in the series!
This has a special place in my heart…. Firefighting.
Great info about one of my many Favourite Pod Vehicles!&loving Jon Culshaw as Jeff!
Anyone else spot the transistor tester (fitted with a TV picture where the meter should have been), the audio (?) oscillator inside Firefly and the multimeter movement? Much of the fun of these series was working out what they had cannibalised to make the control panels. ☺
Love all the vehicles, so much thought was put into the design and how the vehicles would work no matter how they looked. F.A.B.
The Firefly is my personal favourite,
I have a dream of making one and taking it to display at comic cons...
When I'm not driving it around to get the shopping, because if you had The Firefly you would use it as often as you could,
My name sake, reveals it’s secrets at last! However still FAB pod vehicle 🙂
But you are carried and valued
I appreciate the use of the original music in these videos.
Another excellent video. Keep up the good work!

I love this vehicle, it seems one of the most practical in modern day situations (may be the kid in me but), hope they can actually make it in real life
I have a few Gerry Anderson tv shows it includes thunderbirds and Terrahawkes and I believe stingray and another one too
5:59 I've never noticed before, but I think the front of the Mole's trolley is just about visible in the Pod there
3:42 It also helps put the crew at ease because they feel more comfortable wearing gear like that.
*My kid said these videos are turning me into an **_Anderson Shows Geek._** F.A.B.* 👍🎯😂😂🤣
We could have used a few of these during the Morrison bushfires in Australia 2020.
I'm already thinking about how a Firefly-equivalent might've looked like as a "Pod" from the Thunderbirds Are Go! reboot. Hmm... Tracks on the bottom, dozer blade up front, twin water cannons on the sides, water tank in the back slot, sprayer up top?
Amazing, is there one for the laser equipment used to Cutthrough vault doors from the bracelet game episode?
Not yet, possibly in the future!
@@ACtheLegend ok, best of luck if you can make it work!
His voice hasn’t changed at all.
Has anyone seen footage of the Hungarian fire-fighting tank known as The Big Wind ? Try watching it in action without hearing Barry Gray's music play in your head. If ever a piece of contemporary equipment belongs in the International Rescue stable, this is it.
[th-cam.com/video/Ycs8t0-_xaE/w-d-xo.html]
It's amazing! Giant jet engines mounted on a tank body. It's definitely a Thunderbird!
I saw the fantastic beast and funny enough thought - "Yep, that's definitely an International Rescue machine!"
So it literally fights fire with fire? Cool
...... "Technology that we don't share with the world to save even more lives", nothing will compromise our security.
P.S. I dated Lady Penelope for a while, She dumped me saying she wanted a 'No strings relationship'.
Hi all hope doing ok

Not as much fun as Firefly,
What after the The firefly
You'll have to wait and see :)
"Nitroglycerin"? You might want to rethink that.
All the better to blow stuff out with! :)
@@ACtheLegend At least it's not a nuke like the Russians did to stop a well fire.
nerd alert 😁🤓
That’s the sound of our channel…
@@GerryAndersonTV back when i was in my 20s I would spend 2 years on a scratchbuilt, totally uknown biplane of the 30s. And would take my dioramas out in the sun to take photos of them and fool my peers that the dioramas were life size. Now when i look back, I cringe at myself for the huge amounts of time invested at the expense of sports, partying etc. But the nostalgia in this channel is still way too hard to ignore
