Question Need help identifying an old Sci Fi show from the '60's

This has been bugging me for a while. I have an image in my head from a show in the '60's that I believe was sort of sci fi ish.

I believe there was a group of aliens or a secret society that flew around in tank shaped space craft with what looked like pipes sticking out of them. By tank, I mean an oil tank rather than a military tank.

Another thing is that I believe it was British.

That's all I have - sorry... And thanks!

"UFO" is the most likely candidate, although "Dr. Who" is also British.

UFO is a very good guess but I don't think it's it. It has the right "feel" though...

Try "The Invaders", although it's an American production.

I'll check out some episodes of "The Invaders" and see if that's the one. Thanks!

Damn, that's it! Thanks!

I used to be into all those Gerry Anderson shows. Supercar, Fireball, Captain Scarlett, Thunderbirds, etc... I was also a big Space 1999 fan.
