Yes, you read the title right. I received this from David Finchett:
Hi Norman,
I read your Frank Bellamy article about this duvet cover on your website and thought you might be interested. It was a limited edition duvet cover of 1000
so not many are about. I enclose a photo. I am going to put it up on ebay when I get time.
At 200cm x 220cm it's awkward to photograph!
Kind Regards
David Finchett

Original advert 1992 (Thanks to Shaqui)

The original story - as credited on the quilt - was written by Alan Fennell and drawn by Bellamy.

I have stored some other images from this quilt which I've found over the years, so here you go for those interested! As the advert suggests these 1000 limited edition were autographed by Gerry Anderson. I presume no-one dared wash these!

There have been other duvet covers but not with Bellamy's art on them.

Shame it didn't sport the same colours as the original art or comic pages, as it looks a little 'washed out' as it is. However, at only 1,000, it's sure to be collectable.
Yes, wouldn't it brilliant to get an actual double page ....spread! I'll just get my hat and coat
How did you get on selling the duvet cover? I have just come across the same, with a marker signed message and autograph, original order form etc!
And advice on where to sell and how to price would be amazing.
Thank you
Hi Anonymous. I never heard how David got on selling his duvet, but I'd suggest eBay might be the best place and next year is the 60th anniversary of Thunderbirds so maybe go for it!
