Captain Scarlet eh?  |
I suspect this was a little cryptic for younger IIS members. Gerry Anderson who created "The Thunderbirds" had another TV series called... Captain Scarlett
& Mysterons, a race of Martians who possess partial control over matter. It screened on TV in 1967 and 1968.
In reality, Mars turned out to be rather boring.
Dinky Toys made a set of cars that featured in the TV show. (attached: the set that was mine, that my grandson is playing with).
The Spectrum Pursuit Vehicle was my favourite! (It had a functioning missile launcher)
Note the logo on the vehicles
