Arthur Cripps

Arthur Cripps (1923-1967 ) was the property master for every episode of the television series Thunderbirds. This included the first series episode The Man from MI.5, which crossed over into the Doctor Who universe by featuring an appearance by the Daleks. He also worked on the film in the same position.

Cripps' only other credits were on all thirty-two episodes of Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, another Gerry Anderson supermarionation creation which shared crossovers with the DWU, on which he was again a property master. He died in 1967, meaning that most of the episodes were broadcast posthumously.
