Read about how Gerry Anderson’s iconic Eagle spacecraft was recreated at Pinewood Studios, as reported by Nia Daniels for The Knowledge Online. Below is a short excerpt from the article:

The decision to rebuild the Eagle Transporter cockpit began with director Jeffrey Morris, who grew up as a huge fan of Space: 1999.

Morris wanted to try to construct a fully professional, studio-grade duplicate of the Eagle cockpit, built to the same spec as for a feature film; not a fan replica.

Makinarium UK, the practical-effects and fabrication studio based on the Pinewood Studios lot, came on board as a partner for the project. Working in the N-Block workshop, the Makinarium team – led by long-time Pinewood craftsman Robin Lawrence – executed the build using a blend of CNC machining, 3D printing, engineered fabrication, and hand-finished detailing. Even the iconic ‘dentist chair’ pilot seats were recreated entirely from scratch.
