In November 2012 Norbert Steinert emailed me, giving his permission to post both this picture and the previous one, UFO: After Work. I heard no more from him and it was only today, while searching for his ‘pseudonym’ on Facebook that I discovered he had died in May 2013. I wish I had known earlier that he was ill. These are lovely pieces of work and a small tribute to his…

Welcome back to the re-vamped, re-designed Ed Straker Herald. After a hiatus caused by a combination of events, your editors are delighted to be once more able to share our love of UFO, and indeed all of Gerry Anderson’s productions, with his many fans. Prior to going off-line in early 2012, the editors of the Herald were busy preparing a new issue, complete with personal tributes to Gerry Anderson and two short…
Last year, Film Bridge International updated their webpage confirming that the much awaited UFO film was ‘in development’ (which meant very little really). In 2012 they posted: FBI recently announced a relationship with New Deal Studios, the company responsible for the extraordinary visual effects in many of Hollywood’s biggest films including “Inception,” “Hugo,” and “The Dark Knight.” Together, the companies have announced the production of two major motion pictures.

The Lunar Module could be considered as the ‘workhorse’ of SHADO’s space operations. The only craft capable of transporting supplies, equipment and crew to Moonbase, it features in many of the episodes and is a typical product of the design team with its chunky, yet streamlined frame and large cargo compartment. A modelmaker’s delight, and good fun to draw as well! There are several accounts that purport to give an…
