RAF Museum Cosford hosts iconic sci-fi weekend
Royal Air Force Museum Cosford is this weekend transporting its visitors back to the 60's and 70's with a weekend devoted to classic British sci-fi.
Located in the Museum's National Cold War Exhibition, puppets and memorabilia from iconic science fiction shows created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson will be displayed; with visitors having the unique opportunity to view puppets of much loved characters including the Thunderbirds, Joe 90, Steve Zodiac, the heroic pilot of Fireball XL5, Captain Scarlet and his evil nemesis Captain Black, and the Terrahawks, to name but a few.
The characters inspired the dreams of a generation of children when the sci-fi series were broadcast into family homes during the 1960's and 70's. Many of the well-known puppets on display are original studio puppets which will be shown exclusively for the very first time.
Also on display are models, costumes, full sized vehicles and sets from the classic live action shows Space 1999 and UFO.
The event will be open to the public today and tomorrow from 10:00am. Admission is free of charge.
