There was a period of time where I thought I was the only one who remembered this show. I had the toy spacecraft as a kid and loved it.

I had an Eagle, too, along with models from other shows like Star Trek, Star Wars, etc. As I grew older, I realized how unrealistic they all are, as spaceships go. The Eagle still feels like it could be real, though. (Yeah, I know a modern pedantic internet space nerd could rip it to shreds, but you know what I mean.)
My Eagle used to work alongside Thunderbird 2 and 4. We rescued so many people!
Dinky Toys!!! I had Eagles, ships from UFO, a Klingon ship...loved them!
One of the best TV themes ever. Had an Airfix Eagle that had pride of place on my childhood shelves.
Fantastic theme. The theme really made me like the show against my will because it often didn't make any sense.
Remember? Barbara Bain!! Who cared about 'Eagles"?
