Gerry Anderson R.I.P.
The products of Gerry Anderson's incredible imagination
lit up my childhood, all the way from
Fireball XL5 in 1963 to Space 1999 in the
mid-1970s. These weekly sneak-previews of
the future (as I was convinced they were)
captivated me at a time when I had no more
serious concerns in life than what style of hover-scooter I'd require when I grew up and
whether or not caps with flip-down
communication devices would be available in my size.

Ah, FAB tribute The Swede!
I'm still hoping to have a hover-scooter some day (maybe they'll replace walking frames for us old'uns in a couple of decades?) and I'm sure that the cap with the communication device is nearer than we think - it'll be adjustable anyway, so no need to worry about size...
