WAS THE DINKY FAB1 USED IN THUNDERBIRDS?

 Looking at this famous shot of Derek Meddings and the Fireflash [courtesy of lester demon nl] I can see various die-cast toy vehicles just below the control tower [what can you see?]


Seeing Derek and knowing he designed FAB1 I've wondered whether the Dinky FAB1 die-cast was ever used in Thunderbirds TV series or films?

Does anyone know?

    I can see the cool BP AutoTanker and the container wagon that appeared in every airport shot. I think the Dinky FAB1 came out too late to be used in filming, but can't be sure:

      I thought the dates might not match up Wote.

      That is a fab website Yorkie, thanks for the tip. I've been checking FAB1 appearances on it too!
