I will be recording it as well. Fireball XL5 is my earliest TV memory along with Pogle’s Wood and Andy Pandy

we called our tortoise Tog!
Fireball XL5 was a favourite too. Of course, it would be XXXL5 nowadays
Excellent, recorder already set 
I am always amazed at some of the equipment used in these 60s' SuperMarionation series are actually with us many years later in every day life.
What visionaries they all where.
Still waiting on The Fireflash though, that was my favourite plane ever, I think it was nuclear powered.

I was always amazed at the length of the bleedin' runway when IR's elevator cars were attempting to line up underneath!
One of my favourite episodes though.

Being a HiFi forum, "Fireball XL5' was my first ever single!
Not exactly sure where it went, but I found a set of 'Thunderbirds' single sized records recently, and it should have been with them.
'Stingray' was even there in with them.

I had a Stingray 7” when I was very young, and it had an adventure with Troy Tempest and Phones, on the B-Side the Troy part was omitted so one was able to play the part of the hero!

What could possibly go wrong?
The Soviet Union tried it with The experimental Tupolev Tu-95AL and the US with the Convair NB-36H in the 50s.
Neither went into production!
