1995

At the time of his death, he was engaged in post-production on the James Bond film GoldenEye (1995), on which his sons Mark and Elliott James (born May 1973) also worked. A dedication in the credits of the completed film reads "To the memory of Derek Meddings".

1989

Supposedly, he was asked to supervise the effects for Batman (1989) because director Tim Burton was a fan of his work on Thunderbirds.

1980

Had six children, including sons Nicholas Alexander (born July 1980) and Noah Luscombe (born August 1978) and daughter: Chloe Loveday (born 1982).

1970

Derek Meddings was a British film and television special effects designer, initially noted for his work on the "Supermarionation" TV puppet series produced by Gerry Anderson, and later for the 1970s and 1980s James Bond and Superman film series.

1965

Meddings became special effects supervisor for Thunderbirds (1965), during which time he was responsible for the design of the Thunderbird machines themselves.

1961

He was credited with the special effects in Anderson's series Supercar (1961) and Fireball XL5 (1962), being elevated to special effects director for Stingray (1964) for which he and Reg Hill designed the main models.

1960

Later, he painted cut-out backgrounds of ranch houses and picket fences for Four Feather Falls (1960).

He was visual effects supervisor for all the Anderson puppet series of the late 1960s and Anderson's first live-action series, UFO (1970). During his time working on these series, Meddings and his team developed several innovations in the filming of miniature models and landscapes which have since become standard in the industry.

1959

Meddings' first work with Anderson was as an uncredited art assistant on the puppet series, Torchy, the Battery Boy (1959).

1940

After attending art school in the late 1940s, he also found work at Denham Studios, lettering credit titles. It was there that he met effects designer Les Bowie and joined his matte painting department.
