SkyDiver Operations 

I absolutely love this TV show and I was a child and now that I'm an adult and the internet is all I can watch all these episodes over and over again still one of my favorite TV shows

The sound of the UFO's scared the hell out of me as a kid

I loved this show back in the day. I watched all the Gerry Anderson shows from Supercar on when we could get them in the Tampa area. They were always on UHF and that little circle antenna didn’t always pick it up.

Watching this program as a kid whenever Sky One was launched it made my week! 😄

I love this show. It was ahead anything of its time. Gerry Anderson passed away many years ago yet rules.

This still is good show to watch . I like to watch full episodes . UFO beats the Drama , the fake reality TV shows . UFO fits in with the things that's been going on for centuries .

Neil's Giant Leap, followed by a few more awe-inspiring Apollo missions...and 2001, were still fresh in the public consciousness. Audience sophistication was blossoming. Gerry Anderson got that. His model shop was always....... ....creative in designing air, space & watercraft for his shows. But now, we had much higher expectations for Sci-Fi vehicle authenticity. Studio models of SHADO's transportation & weapons inventory introduced a greater level of believably to television Sci Fi. They looked functionally practical, were far more detailed ...and a revolution in FX techniques for filming them had just taken-off... with full afterburners. Notice the weathering and heavily-used, worn look to UFO's Earth-origin crafts? Other's certainly did. Overnight, model making of every kind radically changed. Imaging media, architectural, scaled reproduction and hobbyists would never look back as "realism" was redefined. Finally, illusion was trying harder to look more like....REALITY. (Besides, the inverse wasn't quite working the way counter-culture had figured)

Skydiver was my all time favourite Gerry Anderson vehicle bar none.

I love the fishnet uniform.

Love those underwater smoke effects.

Simply...an awesome Tv 📺 series when I was 8,incredibles aereo & sea ships,thanx 🛸

I always thought that UFO was an amazing programme. Stipulated , SkyDiver was really amazing. And I'll admit that the ladies on Moobase were seriously amazing.

Stingray. Thunderbird4. and Skydiver … my favorite 😂

I absolutely love this series watched it as a kid in the 70s. One amusing thing that confuses me. When you look at Skydiver, the detachable aircraft takes up about a third of the combined length of the whole craft. The aircraft is maximum 25 - 30f long so the rest of the craft is only about 50 - 60ft. Within that space all we see inside is the control room and captain's cabin. There doesn't appear to be space for crew's quarters, engine room, torpedo room as it does occasionally fire torpedoes. The craft really needs to be at least 3 times bigger than it is.

Brilliant series. I saw it In Awe as a Youngster in 1972.

I always thought skydiver was one of the coolest sci-fi craft of all time. I saw a vid where somebody made an actual working model. Personally, I've always wanted to slide down that tunnel and into the jet. What a genius way to get in.

It was an amazing show they did a great job in the music fit thanks Barry Gray,

I can watch these episodes over and over! Simply the best! 😎👍

I love the attention to detail on all the models and sets . You can see why these shows looked so good back in the day

as fan of gerry anderson , i still get enjoy watch, people forget no computer aid, all models was hand build, , now i am 60yrs, , dont forget it only sci fiction

Everything was fine in all the scifi series of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson

WOW 🤩 I haven’t seen this since I was a child! Thank you 😊

God I wish they would remake this in to a feature film with current CGI instead of all the crappy Marvel stuff and recent movie remakes.

Love all of these shots especially the opening sequence in her pen. The model making is superb.

I Like All the SkyDiver Episodes.

I was crazy for this show in the early 1970s a totally captured nine year old school boy, never missed an episode at all no way.

Sky One looks like a flying brick! I love it!

What I like is the gimmick where the words "SKY" on the aircraft and "DIVER" on the submarine spell "SKYDIVER" when the two craft are joined together. Only problem is, it doesn't work on the right side of the sub -- unless it's in Hebrew!

There is a reason that missiles are shot out of subs under pressure and the fire their engines after they break the surface. In real life the sky craft’s engines would fry the diver sub to say nothing of its docking connections.

They even came up with a legitimate excuse for the mesh shirts. As a weight saving measure they cut down on the insulation for the reactor steam lines. It was very hot inside a skydiver

Loved it, and still do!

In the fantastic fantasy worlds Gerry Anderson there is the story, interesting characters, vehicles/vessels special effects, sound effects and then there is that INCREDIBLE music of Barry Gray. From the opening and closing credit background music as well as all the mood settings in-between, he takes you there and puts you right in the middle where the (standby for) action is. At the 3:22 mark is my personal favorite adrenaline accelerant by Gray. And for some caught in the build up excitement, in an alternate reality it might as well be YOUR head rising up in the cockpit and strapping in as SkyOne gets ready for lift off. During the 1960s the entertainment industry was awash with TV and feature film science fiction of various types, replete with Anderson's MAJOR contributions of captivating millions of us. Up until late 1972 when I first saw UFO, I thought Irwin Allen's Flying Sub easing out from under the Seaview was the coolest thing ever. But seeing SkyDiver angle up, blast out as Sky One separates from Diver towards the surface...BLEW MY MIND. Derek Meddings did it to us AGAIN...

That's nostalgic. I watched every week when I was a kid in Japan.

I remember the show when I was a kid a long time ago I always wondered about one thing they supposedly had a fleet of those submarines but the only one they ever showed was the one

Thunderbird 4 conversion with a drab paint job :)

Love it, reminds me of Stingray

I'm too sexy for my shirt, too sexy for my shirt....so sexy, it hurts."

I loved this show!

I watch this when I was still a kid...elementary in fact....just that it never last long

This was the coolest thing ever for kids growing up'/!!!

Skydiver were My Favorite Episodes.

I like how it says Sky on the bit that flies and Diver on the part that dives.

Georgina - Moon is charming!!

I loved this show

que epoca!!!!! siempre miraba esta serie desde chico. para esa epoca buenos efectos

I don't know why ? UFO and SPACE 1999 SHOULD BE ON ME TV .

Nice special effects for its time.

gotta love the fishnet shirts, LOL

Biggest disappointment of my childhood was waiting for Dinky Toys to put out a SkyDiver. It would've looked fine in the Emerald Green they insisted on painting the other Gerry Anderson vehicles (like the Interceptor and Eagle Transporter).

Shows today don't know how to do specail effects like they did back in the day, UFO was great

Looks like those UFOs dread Sky-1 worst. When spotted by that jet, they just run. In one episode, their squadron attempted to attack Moon Base, but they never dared to attack Sky-1.

Linda calidad de imagen y sonido.😊👍🌹🍃🌹🌠💎

Yeaaa it was looking to see what you have to say about that

I bet the retirement parties for the SHADO personnel were always fun. "Hey, before you go, have a cup of coffee!"

i always thought this show was so cool when I was a teenager.

Que copado !!! Muy bueno

still love the effects

es una magnifica serie de mi adolescencia

The UFO flying soucer is a good flying machine as a transporter if fitted with jet engines .

I grew up watching these science fiction movies as a little kid in the 1970s. As a little kid I even wanted to join the US space military but yet it's only a movie not real. Nowadays they're making weapons, computers, UFOs, and other space age technology now.

American and Soviet military engineers would have said: "The top secret has leaked!" The idea of skydivers was groundbreaking.

Wish they had shown how those 2 redocked.

That SkyDiver captain is an ACE!

I like the uniforms .

Recuerdo está serie cuando era yo muy pequeño y por el horario en que la transmitían , de noche, no me dejaban verla por qué se supone debería estar dormido.

I love skydiver

Love the S.HA.D.O. SKYDIVER Submarine. Just wished that it was equipped with Laser cannons.

I see hers, too.

I didn't realise Timothy whatshisname was in UFO on the Skydiver,I only knew him from that vet tv series .

OH HAHAHAHAHA!!!! I never noticed the fishnet t-shirts back in the day when we watched this on TV (it was a B&W set, so I had no idea the women on Moonbase wore purple wigs..). That's so funny.... you can see their chest hair. "Maintain speed 40 knots.." 40 knots!!!! (And they're obviously just creeping along...) IIRC there were supposedly ten SkyDivers, SkyDiver 4 got destroyed in one episode. I think they only showed SkyDiver 1 for the most part.

One of my favorite SciFi series. And SkyDiver was my favorite vehicle on the show.

Bloody hell thats , Christopher Timothy from All creatures great and small ,

I use to have to wear those string vests in the RAF Fire Service 😂😂😂😂

I had forgotten how wonderfully unisex the uniforms were in this series.

The future we deserved but didn't get.

Netted outfits are cool

Sensacional 👏😃👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 AMAZING 💯💥💯💥💯💥💯💥💯💥💯

Loved this show - but I always wondered how sky 1 landed then reattached? And also why there wasn't a fleet given the limited flight time and presumably reset making it hard if more than one ufo got through.

Good design of the equipment from decades ago🥝🇳🇿😎

I'm glad that I'm not onboard that Sky 1 when they launch Everything and everyone would be sliding Bas Accerds That's why I'm onboard the SeaVeview DON'T have that problem to launch the Fling Sub

Pretty good horses

Good job fair

Pretty cramped in that thing

“Keepin mind it’s just a show....”

MHD turbines? A ' kids' show, ahead of adult dramas? Only Gerry Anderson.

Goes light super fast

The girls on Moonbase even to this day there on the height of my fantasy

I like this show

In some ways the TV show UFO was kind of like Thunderbirds, with scenes and aircrafts and all!😏😄

I loved that show, but today I think is funny to see Sky1 pilot looking vissualy for the ufo coming out from the sun. Radar was invented in WW2. It should track the ufo and fire missiles MILES AWAY

I know it's just a kid's tv show but a jet needs aerodynamics to move and steer but a saucer doesn't. This should give it much more maneuverability.

「バンダイ」さんから「UFO」のプラモデルを「ウルトラマンタロウ」と一緒に復刻して欲しいです。「UFO」の「スカイ1」や「インターセプター」、そして「タロウ」の「スカイホエール」に「コンドル1」と「スーパースワロー」、どちらの戦闘機陣も全て再現度が高かったです。

One can only surmise that the two parts are combined again by a squad called the King's Men in a procedure known as Operation Humpty Dumpty.

I always thought it was nice that someone modified the F-86 Sabre (from the Korean War) to swim! LOL

It interesting how the pilot enters Skydiver by sliding into a tube that appears be tilted downward but there’s not enough distance for him to slide into the Skydiver. Plus how would he get up into the cockpit? Oh,the physics show business seems to always ignore!🤔🤔🤔

スカイダイバー好きです😆🎵🎵

Amo a sid y a los interceptores

haha, those UFOs are very silly

I made a skydiver plastic model as a kid
