1964: Stingray first airs

Quote Of The Day
"In all the shows I've made, I've always tried to make the opening titles exciting."
(Gerry Anderson)

Well, he certainly suceeded with Stingray.

Is this my toy? I wish. This is the Holy Grail of Stingray collectibles. Since the box of this Plaston Stingray toy included two cut-out action figures, this one is believed to be the only one in existence with an intact box. On E-Bay, there is one of these in a reproduction box with a broken aerial selling for £545. Goodness only knows what the one in this photograph is worth.
