I'm a great fan of the vehicles from the Gerry Anderson programmes. I don't collect them but just received a well used SHADO Mobile 2. There are several variations out there based mainly on colour of the base, body, seats, missile base, wheels and tracks. Mines quite an early casting with the holes in the back. What Gerry Anderson vehicles have you got? Let's see 'em!

The Dinky ''FAB 1'' models are part of a much larger collection of ''FAB 1'' toys and models which I am very proud of as this was the car for me when growing up in the sixties while watching Thunderbirds on TV.
I had the very first version Dinky ''FAB 1'' with proper rubber tyres on chromed wheel rims putting it right into the late 1966 to early 1967 period and it might even have been my very first Rolls-Royce. How times have changed, I can not move easily around the home for them now
Very interesting FAB1 slide show; sadly I find the chronological detail changes on Dinky models quite fascinating. Have you produced any similar presentations for other Dinky RR models?

Just got another SHADO mobile, this time with the flat roof. Early issue. Found another one with smaller wheels which I've code threed (as a verb!) and turned it into SHADO control with a radar.
