Certainly was Deal Band... many years ago, I think it was one of the Bowdens in front of the band who gave the command "Thunderbirds are go"
Drums beating, colours flying and bayonets fixed...

Ahoy there!
6th June 1980, 139Tp marched onto their pass out parade accompanied by the Band of Her Majesty's Royal Marines playing the Thunderbirds theme. It still makes the hairs on the back of my neck bristle.

I was in training at Deal (JE27) fron Nov 65. The Band were practicing
the tune then and through to the Premier of the movie, which I think was
in the spring. They practiced on the square most saturdays as I recall.+

Can remember watching the Movie in a cinema at a place called Hunstanton, Norfolk as per normal it was chucking it down so Pop decided Bollox to the beach, lets go to the flicks. Hunstanton, one mega dump with thousands of jellyfish.

Cannot remember anything about the movie. The acting was very Wooden! :D :D

On our passout the band at one stage played the Monty Python theme which had my old Man laffing his head off! (Bloody Crabfats!)

I though that the "March Of The Thunderbirds" was the preferred "music of Choice" for most King`s Squads of the eightys and early ninetys.
Which merely echoed the sentiments of various DLs
"Anything can happen in the next half-hour" :P

Do they march off to that rousing Song/Tune "Sit on my face and tell me that you love me" made famous by the "Monty Python" crew?

went to see Thunderbirds, (the new movie) yesterday, took the girls, with all that modern technology, that bald headed bastardo got one over onInternational Rescue. the craft, although modernised, were well impressive, its a bit of a shame that there weren`t more, "Rescues", to show the kit off, although Lady Penelope in the bath was quite good to watch, O to be Parker, yus Mulady? heres hoping to a few more films, and a few more rescues. So! whats next? Stingray? Fireball XL5 Captain Scarlet.
Parkers line at the end was a corker, a tear in his eye, he said,

"Even the Hardest of nuts cracks occaisionally"

bless him
