the Vulcan used and the special effects used
Saw one of the big models of the Vulcan used in "Thunderball" sitting high up on a rack in the Denham Studios props department c.1980. Up close it was surprisingly rough.
In those days with the right contacts,a bottle of Scotch and a 3-tonner you could "borrow" items out of the department for Summer Balls etc...
Two great interests enjoyed by self and H. Senior with "The Iron Maiden" :lots of film around "Fred's Sheds",
plus Traction engines!
