The term FAB used in the Show 'Thunderbirds' from my recollections as a kid my friends and I always thought it stood for "Fully Acknowledged Broadcast" as you hear Virgil say to Scott :
"Thunderbird One to Thunderbird Two Virgil did you get that?
To which Vigil would reply "fab Scott" "message received and understood"
But I'm really glad to see so many people are still interested in a show I idolised when I was eight years old in the UK .
I'm now 52 and Portsmouth seems so long ago but its nice to think I might give something back to a show that gave me more enjoyment than I can ever remember having in those early days in England.
Thanks to all those who asked? "What does FAB mean"
