First draft version of the Moonbase Interceptor seen in Gerry Anderson's 1970 Science Fiction series UFO . Based on a design by VFX supervisor Derek Meddings. This is a rough mock up which is completly thrust based on lift : VTOL NOZZLES hidden locked in place to lift the craft controlled by throttle. Rear thrusters are controlled by trim and rotation controlled by small vtol thrusters which use the yaw controls. Suggest you gain some altitude before applaying rear thrusters as they tend to cause a decent. IT's a bit of pig to fly right now but Im new to the program. The main missle is fired by the AG5 key and it has three functioning machine gund in fron to the pilot which use the trigger , This a first draft so still a work in progress and will go through many improvemnts over time both funtionally and cosemetically
