I think it was only released in a 5 X 400' reel regular 8mm black and white feature by Powell Films of the UK... I think there was a 400' digest, too... but also just black and white. I have never seen it in super 8 or in color...

Michael,
Brian and Barry are correct it was unfortunately only available in Black and White and on both gauges.
I had the feature length version in my collection sometime ago but sold it as I just couldn't live with a B&W version of a film I knew was made in colour (Technicolor too!) enjoyable though it was.

I once saw a great colour trailer on Super 8 that a collector included in a show. I'm not certain but it may well have been on a Thuderbirds trailer reel. I must ask him again if he would consider selling it.

I have the 400ft cut down which is great fun and runs a bit like an original TV episode. I would love the feature but it does appear to be as rare as the proverbial hens teeth. However I am glad it is black and white as all the colour prints would be bright pink by now.
