Owner of 18ft Thunderbird 3 replica thought he was only buying a model
The recipient of a large Thunderbird 3 space rocket was mistakenly believed that they had accidentally bought a miniature model.
Andrew Bellamy, an employer of an old Humberside airport in Northern Lincolnshire, said that one of the former owners of the site made a mistake when their son made an offer for a copy in 2008.
Mr. Bellamy, who worked at the airport for 20 years, said that when they returned to Blackpool, they were asked whether they brought a truck when they returned to get it back to bring it back to Humberside.
Thunderbird 3 was the primary spacecraft of the international rescue of the show, led by Alan and John Tracy.
The original Thunderbirds, a classic child puppet science fiction series, is honored for the 60th anniversary of the first TV broadcast on September 30, 1965.
Mr. Bellamy from Epworth, BBC These staff went to buy a model in a Land Rover.
After a site employee learned that the model was actually large, the crew returned and returned to Humberside airport to organize a truck.
Large purchasing reminds me of Mockumentary Spinal TAP. In the film, the group ordered what Stonehenge was a lifelong copy, but instead received a miniature.
Thunderbird 3, which belongs to Eastern Airways, headquartered at the airport, is a 18 -meter long and well -known local turning point.
