What is especially poignant about the mockup is that it

is similar to a vstol variant of the Fairey Delta 2 which many

thought could have been the UK Mirage. The French Balzac

prototype was flying when the Planemakers aired. The

airliner looks like a Valiant mockup.

At the same time the Gerry Anderson puppet shows were

featuring guest aircraft initially based on US designs like the

B58 and F5 and then on Concorde as Fireflash and the

VSTOL P177 carrier plane
