Google is your friend...

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"), which was a 1960s catchphrase. Later this was unofficially decided to mean Fully Advised and Briefed, following on from P-W-O-R (Proceeding With Orders Received), a similar radio confirmation code in the series Stingray. In Anderson's next series, Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, S.I.G. (Spectrum is Green) would continue the tradition of initialled call signs.

"on Thunderbirds ?"

They were all swinging on their strings. It didnt mean anything. Was a sort of 'ok' for the year 2065 when thunderbirds was set. FAB was also used in Captain Scarlet.

So when I got a message saying "phwor! Fab!" what did it mean? I replied "SIG" but got no further reply. A mystery....
