I'm still going through this book and the Anderson-verse stories which inspired it, but I figured I'd start a collaborative list of pseudonyms it introduces for Gerry Anderson characters. Please append more to the bottom if you know them!

 * . It also suggests a couple of corrections to the above. Firstly, it says Hector is Troy Tempest which I'd agree with from the info on the page, not "Samuel Storm" which I assume is a typo of Samuel Shore. It also suggests swapping Alton Sharon and John Sharon. This one I'd also agree with based on the line on John's page which states he has four older brothers. Although John Tracy has almost always drawn the short end of the stick in recorded adventures, it's a solid fact that both he and Alan operate Thunderbird 5, on a month-on month-off basis. As I say, though, it's the "older brothers" line that clinches it because it's important to several episodes that Alan is the youngest of the five. (Most sources give the order of the births as matching the number of their Thunderbird when Alan is on TB 5 although some swap Virgil and John to match the order of the billing on the title sequence.) I hope this helps! Borisashton ☎  01:29, 25 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Also, purely from the name OCEAN FLOOR gives me strong WASP vibes but that's based on nothing. Borisashton ☎  01:32, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
