The flying sub: Voyage to the bottom of the sea. Aurora 1960's model.
The flying sub was carried in the berth of the mother ship "seaview" and was launched from a hatch on the bottom of the submarine.
The inside compartment shows 2 figures and the 2 rockets.In the tv series the flying sub moved very fast under water and even much faster when it entered the air from below the sea.
What a great show! I watched it every week. All the underwater scenes were filmed in a lake behind Universal Studios. David Hedison will be 90 this coming May.
I watched it every week as well. I didn't know about where the underwater scenes were filimed. Thanks for sharing this. Almost 90 years young for mr. Hedison wow!!
I feel like they should have made that toy a stereoviewer.
What a great idea. The stereoviewer would have been a hit for sure.
Thank you beyemvey, GeodeJem, ho2cultcha, iggy, aura, vetraio50, and Efesgirl, for your comments and loves much appreciated!!
Thanks for stopping by Thomas always much appreciated my friend.
Wow, this takes me back. I read of people having nightmares over Space 1999, I still remember one I had as a child involving a cactus like monster on my mothers bed (I wonder what Freud would make of that!) from this series I believe
Younger days gone by Vintagefran. One other CW member commented on my Space 1999 post that he had nightmares. I was good with all the series. When I saw Physco at a young age the shower scene gave me nightmares.
Loved Space 1999 as well, actually I'd watch anything sci fi, Star Trek, I have a model Enterprise, Dr Who, I have a toy Tardis :) Another of my favourites, Land of the Giants, is being shown on British TV at the moment and is as enjoyable now as it was when I was 10...I wonder if a toy Spindrift exists, if it does I want one! Lol
Hi Vintagefran sounds like you have a fine collection of sci fi pieces! There is a Spindrift plastic model well actually more then one. In a day or so I will post my Spindrift model and add more history for you to check out.
Everyone this is very cool flying sub, Please check out my new listing.
