Classic British Flight Sim

Yes mate.. I think it was called 'Sea Wolf' though time may have dealt me a duff memory bank (likely as I can't remember what happened last week) I remember getting the Annual for Christmas one year.. coincided nicely with my frogman GI Joe (the original Action Man with painted hair)

That'll give me something to do this afternoon.. try and find it (the name of the prog btw.. not my GI Joe)

EDIT.. Sea Hunt!!

....I found another link on the same site (it's ITV btw) where they have the complete (with the exception of episode 1) Joe90 available for you to watch in realtime!!

Gizza link please Dave

Eric, thanks so much for posting that link. It brought back so many memories of growing up in the UK.

I had not seen London to Brighton in 4 minutes in nearly 50 years! Dixon of Dock Green, Panorama, Eamonn Andrews, The Six-Five Special and Phil Silvers (an American show that strangely, we hardly see at all on the rerun channels on this side of the pond), all brought back a flood of memories. Oh, Quartermas I have never seen but remember it as was the one show my parents would never let me watch and to this day, I still don't know why. When it came on, I was always sent to bed.

Here you go Bob.. I think this is where I ended up. The page doesn't look as it did the other night but I'm pretty sure it's the right general area..

Strewth, Four Feather Falls - now that was when wooden acting was real wooden acting - and the strings were supplied by Alphasim before they got into making Hudsons!

Wasn't there a "Granny Clampett" character in that show? Probably my first pin-up. :redface:

Just think of the cultural experience you missed out on Tonks.

This is what I watched in my formative years

Thanks

Manna from heaven. Yorkshire TV gave up on the Gerry Anderson shows after Captain Scarlet so I have never seen the full series of Joe 90....except odd snippets, so I can catch up now 40 years later :tab: & never any of the later puppet series up to Terrahawks :redface:

Bob

Yes Bob.. Terrahawks was a bit wild. I thought they'd lost the plot by this time :roll:

The viewing pane is only titchy but you can double click on it to see it fullscreen. It's a bit pixelly (is that a word??) but infinately watchable

My favourite was Fireball XL-5

Space 1999 lost it a bit using real people....the puppets were more lifelike :roll:

I am definitely a Supercar, Stingray, Thunderbirds sort
