I'm active in the Gerry Anderson replica making scene, and for us this is like losing Jim Henson. At least he didn't suffer with Alzheimers for too long. RIP.

"Yes Parker. A very sad day."

Even though I haven't watched any episodes of Thunderbirds, Gerry will always be a legend of puppetry, just like Jim Henson.
RIP Gerry Anderson :cry:

And the thing is that there is a connection with both the Muppets and Thunderbirds in that Sir Lew Grade gave the finacial backing of both these shows.

Thanks for the connection. I never thought of that.
