Description

Thunderbird 5 sits high above the earth ready to respond to a call for help at a moments notice...

As i'm going through the classic Thunderbirds, I inevitably came to Thunderbird 5. Not an easy one especially to find a good angle and to give it a sense of realism.
I was originally going to shoot it rescuing villagers from a volcanic eruption or trying to free a stricken cruise ship... then i remembered it can do none of those things...
It kind of just sits there while etherial Barry Gray music swirls around it.

Then it occurred to me, using the law of infinite probability, somewhere out there, there is someone who thinks Thunderbird 5 is their favourite Thunderbird.
Then I thought how they must have been bullied at school, let down by the fact it never got any screen time, how they must have despaired of it never having a decent toy... and when it did it got recalled after the September the 11th attacks for having non PC sound phrases...

So I figured, dude/woman, this ones for you... so here is Thunderbird 5, in its natural habitat orbiting high above the earth doing exactly what it always did... minus the Barry Gray music, but you can put that on yourself...
