Their intention is to record Lady Penelope's conversations during the trip and edit her speeches to make a false distress call to transmit to Jeff, sending International Rescue to Black Phantom's lair at a disused airfield (10 miles south of Casablanca), where he can capture their aircraft.ĭuring the flight, Alan and the other guests become suspicious that the crew are not as knowledgeable as they ought to be, although Penelope is very taken with the dashing Captain Foster. Because the ship is automated, it maintains a crew only in the event of an emergency, so the impostors' lack of knowledge goes unnoticed. Back on Tracy Island, Brains works up several possible TB6 prototypes, but all are rejected by Jeff.īefore the launch, the crew of Skyship One are murdered and replaced by associates of the Black Phantom, led by Captain Foster. Alan has purchased and restored an old de Havilland Tiger Moth biplane in which he and Tin-Tin will fly to England to join Penelope and Parker for the airship launch. Brains is unable to travel because of Jeff's insistence that the new Thunderbird 6 be operational as soon as possible. Jeff isn't unsympathetic: "Yes, they laughed - and then, they built it."Īlan Tracy, Tin-Tin Kyrano, Lady Penelope and Parker are to be guests aboard the new luxury airship Skyship One as representatives of International Rescue on its epic maiden voyage around the world. Brains, though, is reluctant to work without a specification, after his bad experience with NWAC. The committee room descends into hysterical laughter at his suggestion.įollowing his return to Tracy Island, Brains is informed by Jeff Tracy that it's time for him to design and build Thunderbird 6 to complement the other Thunderbirds, although he admits he doesn't know what form this new craft should take. They are astonished to hear that in an age of high technology and speed, he thinks it would be a good idea to build - a 21st-century airship. Having given Mr X (aka Brains, inventor of International Rescue's Thunderbird machines) an open brief to design their latest project, executives of the New World Aircraft Corporation attend a meeting to hear his proposals.
