LOOK & LEARN GERRY ANDERSON A.P. FILMS STUDIO ARTICLE

This article from a 1965 Look & Learn magazine shows some interesting photos of some behind the scenes shots at  the A.P.Film studio in Slough.

The article deals principally with the unique  lip- sync technique, and technical issues about the shows.

I love this shot which shows the team at work. Note, what appears to be a model road or landing strip just next to the puppet set.

This shot looks like puppeteer and sculptor, John Blundall  putting the finishing touches to a puppet head.

There's mention of Supercar, Fireball XL5 and Stingray, although the behind the scenes shots appear to come from  A.P.Films new series, Thunderbirds, which is hinted at in the article.

Oddly, there's no mention of Gerry Anderson, or indeed any of the staff, although the puppet characters do get a name check.  

The same issue also featured this article on a proposed prototype Subplane which wouldn't have looked out of place in those early A.P.Film productions.
