Blackpool Model Exhibition

Once upon a time, back in the early 80s, there was a Gerry Anderson Exhibition located in Blackpool. 'Space City' comprised mainly models and costumes from Anderson's most recent series Space:1999 but also featured a few interesting oddities. Into Infinity was well represented by the Altares, plus the shuttle (inspired by Thunderbird 2) and Space Station Delta (partially cannibalised from the enormous Daria model). Also on show were the final version of the Starcruiser model, the puppets and set from the Jif commercial, plus a few more familiar faces. Fortunately, Andersonic's in-house photographer was on the spot with his first camera to capture the moment for posterity.
