They were the Angels from Captain Scarlet. Destiny, Harmony, Melody, Rhapsody, and Symphony

That's just reminded me, I used to have one of these bendy Destiny Angels dolls. I'd completely forgotten about her until now. I didn't just play with dolls as I also had Captain Scarlet's Dinky toy SPV vehicle.

I was TB mad in '66

Got a photo of me somewhere dressed in a full TB outfit on my 6th birthday.

I so, so wanted to be Scott, a rocket pilot who ALWAYS got there FIRST - top geezer!

I had one of those in about 1968ish. Did yours have the rigid glossy vinyl light blue forage cap which folded flat which you sort of pinged open? I think the later ones were made of soft material and not as realistic.

Did you know that David Miliband's International Rescue was actually named after Thunderbirds one?

I always thought there was something odd about Gordon, he was like the Prince Edward of the Tracey family.

Captain Scarlet for me, the opening tiles used to scare my little sister behind the sofa.
