As a small child, I was enthralled by the mighty machines from the puppet TV series Thunderbirds. Of course, it was just TV sci-fi for kids. Nobody would ever really build such awesome, vehicles in real life. Well, somebody did build something to rival Gerry Anderson's creations. Admittedly, it only flew a few metres above the water and it now doesn't fly at all, being left to decay on a dockside somewhere in the former Soviet Union. But it existed, it flew, it was huge, it looked awesome and somebody called Igor has the photos to prove it.
