I grew up watching Stingray and UFO, and I loved the look of Space 1999, even when I didn't thing the writing was the greatest. A Gerry Anderson production was pure tech porn, and porn is not watched for the acting, or the stories. his shows always had the best spaceships. and he was a major influence on how I those they should look.
He will be missed

Wow, I'd only recently discovered UFO and 1999 on an old sci-fi binge. They've been absolutely charming.
