[1] He is also remembered for illustrating the cover of Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds (1978), which depicts a Martian tripod striking down HMS Thunder Child.
He later completed a two-year course in graphic design at the London School of Printing.
Starting out in the model shop, Trim eventually became special effects director Derek Meddings' assistant in designing the futuristic vehicles, buildings, and look of the Andersons' series.
He eventually took on the bulk of design work for the TV series as Meddings became more involved in feature films.
After contributing a single (unused) vehicle design and model to Space: 1999, Trim moved into freelance illustration, painting the cover for the album Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds in 1978.
