This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the production process of this groundbreaking show, which was made using the innovative form of marionette puppetry known as Supermarionation. Circa 1965, the Thunderbirds team is hard at work filming an episode at AP Films' studio. The Anderson's pioneering approach to animation combined the artistry of traditional marionette puppetry with the latest technology, resulting in lifelike and dynamic characters.
