The series was originally broadcast by CBS from 1978 to 1982, with 82 episodes over five seasons.

Cast metal with enamel style paint, with metal backer for the magnet. There is one of the metal "feathers" missing off the front. Comes with original HERO bag. These badges are incredibly rare. I know of only one other badge, and this one was presented to one of the three kids at the end of the movie when they join International Rescue. This is a multicolored badge, the other individual badges are color-coded, according to the Thunderbird vehicle. [Private purchase]

Florbela (2012) Apeles' aviator wings

This is a very special pair of aviator wings. They were used in the 2012 film by Vicente Alves do Ó, "Florbela", about four days in the life of the famous Portuguese poetess, Florbela Espanca, starring Dalila Carmo as Florbela, Ivo Canelas as Apeles, and Albano Jerónimo as Mário. The wings were used by one of the main characters, Apeles, on nearly the whole film. But they were also used by me as an aviation officer, in a scene I appear in. So these are oh-so-special, as it's my own prop! :)

They were a gift from the director, Vicente Alves do Ó.

Here it is used by me :)

And here by Ivo Canelas as Apeles.
