The characters use the radio sign-off "F. A. B." rather than "Roger" or "Over and out". Anderson was often asked what F. A. B. stood for, but in fact it simply stood for "fab" (short for "fabulous"), which was a 1960s catchphrase. Later this was unofficially decided to mean Fully Advised and Briefed, following on from P-W-O-R (Proceeding With Orders Received), a similar radio confirmation code in the series Stingray. In Anderson's next series, Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, S.I.G. (Spectrum is Green) would continue the tradition of initialled call signs.

Gerry Anderson said that fab was an in word in the 60's that why he put it in. F.A.B was just an acknowledgement to a radio transmission. It did'nt actually stand for anything

When my children were thunderbirds fans during the shows resurgence in the 80s - and as with many young tots they pronounced it 'funderbirds' I told them it stood for 'funderbirds are bo!'
