I have found that many sites give conflicting information, even Gerry's official biography!
The following production history is, as far as I can ascertain from a fair bit of research, fairly accurate.
If you are aware of any documented omissions or inaccuracies, please e-mail me. Thanks!

Linked programme guides are the creation of other authors - please visit their main sites which are listed in the links section.
In most cases, where no direct link is indicated on a particular production,

For anything to do with Thunderbirds I cannot recommend highly enough

Production History Guide

The beginning.... 1946 - 1955

In 1946 Gerry Anderson began as an Assistant Editor at Gainsborough Studios where he worked on 'Caravan', 'Jassy' and 'Snowbound'. His career was interrupted by National Service but in 1949 he returned to the industry at Pinewood Studios where he worked on 'So Long At The Fair', 'The Clouded Yellow', 'Never Take No For An Answer', 'South Of Algiers', 'Appointment In London', 'They Who Dare' and 'A Prize Of Gold' before leaving to work briefly at Polytechnic Films. When this went into liquidation in 1955 he co-founded Pentagon Films, later to become AP Films, (Anderson Provis Films) with Arthur Provis and some old Polytechnic colleagues.
