With Looey's comment in mind re. The Soviet vehicle in UFO I remembered I posted this way back in 2011, 15 years ago! I was a mere 50 back then and just started a new job in a High School!

Over Easter I treated myself to Derek Medding's superb book, 21st Century Visions, which was going for a song on Amazon. I wasn't dissapointed and have been poring over it ever since. One of the vehicles mentioned is the Russian surface rover shown above [bottom left and right]. It appears in the 1973 episode of UFO called The Responsibility Seat, which you can watch via You Tube.
Around the same time I was also lucky enough to take possession of an Apollo Moon Exploration boxed set, [pictured top right along with a US catalogue ad], which I've been after for years. Inside is a nifty red fuel tanker [pictured top left], which also came carded as part of the 1970 Apollo Moon Exploring range [pictured top centre].
I couldn't help but notice a similarity between the UFO Russian moon rover and the Apollo fuel tanker. Or am I just seeing things as per usual?

PS. As it's 2026, some of the above 2011 info and ideas maybe obsolete now!
You lucky dog you - Meddings' 21st Century Visions is a book forever out of my reach! SFZ
ReplyDeleteIt is a nice one SF!
DeleteOooh! I've got 21st Century Visions! Couple it with the two Alan Shubrook Century 21FX volumes, and I have the trifecta!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know Alan Shubrook did a second volume Looey!
DeleteYou'll find the red LP vehicle here, Woodsy.
