I had a Dinky Toys one of these and I still have a chrome-gold Ed Straker's car, also by Dinky. I don't know where they've all gone but I used to have an SPV from Captain Scarlet. a S.H.A.D.O. 2 vehicle and an Interceptor with a large missile in the nose. Gerry Anderson and his whole team were amazing and way ahead of their time.
Captain Blue's SPV was the pinnacle of corgi toys for me, along of course with the Eagle transporter and Thunderbird 2. Bless my parents for picking up on my love of those individual vehicles as I received both as either Christmas or birthday presents. As for the Interceptor, sigh, another absolutely amazing and inspired feat of engineering. The minds of the guys behind the designs of so many nay ALL Anderson vehicles were amazing. Never came across one I did not love.
love the illustrations of craft which have adopted some of the Jet Air Car's tech. although the car itself would look a little big on British roads, especially on rural ones. at least you could get to destinations a lot quicker by flying half the way.
I have finally seen where the inspiration for the front cabin of this vehicle came from. The Rover P6BS prototype of 1967. The cockpit and the headlight pods are clearly taken from the first version. A shame it, and its successor the P9, were killed off by Sir William Lyons of Jaguar, he was worried it would effect E-Type sales. It would have been the UK's first production mid-engined Road Car, and 2nd only to the Lamborghini Miura in terms of speed. If it had entered production it would been sold, as an Alvis. As it was, that was the first marque, to be killed off in the great British Leyland mash up. :'( *** Rover also did a lot of Jet Turbine powered, experimental cars. Jet 1, using the P4 body design. T4 using a P6 prototype. And of course the 1965 Rover-B.R.M. Le Mans Race Car. Using a jet engine to power the vehicle, would naturally inspire an Anderson flying car (again). Only ever seen one episode that featured the car. Had 2 of the Dinky toys though. Needed an HP7 Battery to make the Engine (Afterburner) glow. www.aronline.co.uk/concepts-and-prototypes/concepts-rover-p9-gallery/
Especially showing a clip from 'Hijacked', where Joe kills four people with bullets and a hand grenade. I always wondered if the brain patterns transferred to Joe were edited in any way - you're giving a child the thoughts and ideas of adults - some times very bad adults - were all the objectionable things filtered out? In the episode 'Three's A Crowd', Joe, suspicious of Angela Davis, secretly records her brain patterns to see if he's right to be worried. He is. She's a spy. But that's not the troubling thing: nine year old Joe has been wandering about the mind, thoughts, and memories of someone who seduces men to gain their secrets. There have got to be a few very, very dark corners in there! I've always loved the show, but watching it as an adult, you do get the feeling occasionally, that, maybe, that something very odd is going on, that not everyone would approve of. It would certainly not be greenlit as a show today.
The puppet in question is actually Puppet #49, most prominently seen as President Olafson in the Captain Scarlet episode Codename Europa. However, it is believed that Puppet #49 may indeed have been modified from the original pre-Mysteronised Captain Black puppet in the pilot episode of that series, so you could well be right!
It wouldn't be the first time children were used in war. Many young men lied about their age to be recruited in WWII. Child soldiers in Africa and elsewhere.
@@ACtheLegend I think actor Ed Bishop had a very easily identifiable voice right up until his death in 2005. The voiceover sounds nothing like him. As for the Joe90 timeline, I believe it was aimed at being around the same time as Thunderbirds or Captain Scarlet (which were set one hundred years in the then future). In addition, the UFO series was set in a (future) 1980 which would make "General Straker" very unlikely to be still serving in the military 30 years later in 2010 and even less likely to be commenting on the design of a car in 2021
Straker served as head of the WSS until the day before his 80th Birthday (just under a year from this video), then retired from active duty. Trust me, I did think these things out before I wrote them. :)

Professor McClaine also sorted out my latest pair of glasses. They’re pretty stylish, although I am now wanted in fifteen countries.
Ah you were the one who kept wearing Google Specs when everyone else quietly put them away.
See, if you were a child soldier with those glasses, you'd be wanted in a mere seven of those countries.
Should have gone to specsavers
You should hope that if you take a plane journey, that it doesn't refill in one of those 15 countries

This one has got to be my all time favourite vehicle design. There's just something about it. It's so odd, but so inspired.
Gerry Anderson hated it,but bowed to the genius of Derek Meddings and Mike Trim.
@@MrNellie65 Thanks for the info. :)
I love the idea of Mac and Ed Straker working together.
This is like those old Movie Tone news reals we used to see in theater before the main attraction. Love it!
Only just noticed. The Prof puppet is based on Michael Redgrave, playing Barnes Wallis in "The Dambusters".
love the illustrations of craft which have adopted some of the Jet Air Car's tech. although the car itself would look a little big on British roads, especially on rural ones. at least you could get to destinations a lot quicker by flying half the way.
😅 Given the way so many drive today would YOU trust this in the hands of the general public??😐😑☹
"Mac's Car" by IMAI KAGAKU was my best favorite toy when I was a kid!!

Great post.I thought it was only me who realised what a great forward thinking Company Rover were.Heartbreaking how they ended up.
@@MrNellie65 Yep, Lyons, pushed Rover down in class from being a Mercedes-Benz rival, it should have been.
These videos are always very entertaining!
Thanks Jack! :)
They certainly are.Its great to see them back again.
Me: oooh Mac's jet air car woot, awww 2 days to wait, the joy of anticipation 😎
Joe 90 Was Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's take on Hanna-Barbera and Doug Wildey series The Adventures Of Jonny Quest: File O37.
A beautiful looking vehicle always wanted to have a real one
Me too!
Love the comment about. PROJECT 90 being effective but "morally questionable".

My favourite vehicle from the show was what Dinky called Sam’s Car, in pale blue. I still want a real one of those!
I had one in chrome silver! Still looks great today, doesn't it? :)
Sam Loovers car was quoted as being capable of 500 MPH!!
Really cool vehicle!
I love the Jet Air Car, it was DEFINITELY the star vehicle of Joe 90! (Sorry Jamie Anderson!)
had a model of this ( corgi ) i think , also had a Joe 90 lunchbox and Gun .. lol
Fascinating
I'd love to be able to get a digital copy of the credits artwork from this. Is there any chance it will be released in some form?
Head to 'CT Design and Illustration' on Facebook and he should be able to hook you up :)
@@ACtheLegend Thanks.
@ 4.04 is that a cleaned up Cpt. Black?

@@ACtheLegend Thanks.
Would like to get in touch with Mac for more details of his jet car, its just a brilliant design..
An underated vehicle. Not sure of the colour though.
"Can we go home now Dad"
No doubt designed to be a Dinky or Corgi toy!
I had one! (wish I still did)
Nice. Everyone knows what happens when you mess with the McClain clan. Especially uncle John...
It wouldn't be the first time children were used in war. Many young men lied about their age to be recruited in WWII.
Child soldiers in Africa and elsewhere.
i wonder if social services were concerned about his son ?

Doesn't sound anything like Ed Straker I'm afraid.
Also, I think it's a very random date to say it was first constructed in 2010.
Voices change over time. There's also nothing to contadict it being built in 2010.
@@ACtheLegend I think actor Ed Bishop had a very easily identifiable voice right up until his death in 2005. The voiceover sounds nothing like him.

Just read that the series was actually set in a "near future" 2013, but that still puts Ed Straker out of the picture 33 years after UFO was set
Straker served as head of the WSS until the day before his 80th Birthday (just under a year from this video), then retired from active duty. Trust me, I did think these things out before I wrote them. :)
@@ACtheLegend 80 year old general eh? That's realistic. :)
What going to be next
Moonbase is next Daniel, keep your eyes peeled for UFOs! :)
Speed 1.75 is much better as this guys talks VERY SLOW!!!
Sorry, your comment was typed too slowly, couldn't understand it :P
