One of the most debated aspects of the series and movies was the saying "F.A.B.". First spoken by Virgil Tracy in "Trapped in the Sky" it was another Anderson acronym, but unlike others what it stood for was never divulged. Later Gerry explained that it was simply an abbreviation for the word "FABulous" that was popular at the time.

I remember seeing an interview with Gerry Anderson and he was asked this very question. Apparently it didn't mean anything. Fab was a widely used word in the sixties, short for fabulous, and they just thought it sounded good in the scripts.

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"), a 1960s catchphrase.
