My twins watched the old Thunderbirds film today on Channel 5, at the end they shouted out that some men in my old uniform were on the telly.In fact it was the Deal band doing some very nice formation marching outside C block on the Parade ground playing the theme tune,anyone know anymore about this,maybe Sticky?

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"

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.+

Dootybooty must be due to finish training in the Spring.

I bet the boys in blue aren`t on the new film, and i bet they`ve farked it right up who ever has done it

Bet you were out of step even then

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!

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"
Dum diddle-um, dum diddle um did duummm

Q? What music and Command do YO Batches march off to?

Prez

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?

Steve, we went to Hunstanton once when i was a kid, we got there, went straight to the beach, HA!! got back in the car and drove back home . Beach? not a chance, more like the Dark Side of the Moon

Isn`t that part of Norfolk where they fillumed "The Eagle Has Landed, "

"A smile from a pretty girl, Radl...."
"D`you know wot? I can always tell a thorough-going bastard"
"You`re only supposed to blow the bloody doors off"

I bet it`s not Colonel Bogey

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
