TB1 – IR Rapid Response Vehicle – Tribute to Gerry Andersons’s Thunderbirds !!!
TB1 – IR Rapid Response Vehicle
A sleek, variable geometry swing wing hypersonic rocket plane used for fast response, rescue zone reconnaissance, and as a mobile control base. Thunderbird 1 is endowed with VTOL capabilities which are demonstrated in many episodes, and its take-off from Tracy Island is most often vertical.
The length of Thunderbird 1 is a matter of debate, with various sources giving values of 80, 100 and 115 feet. However, the last figure is now generally accepted, placing the aircraft wingspan at 80 feet. With a maximum speed of 15,000 miles per hour, it can reach anywhere on Earth within an hour’s flight if a great circle route can be flown. Thunderbird 1 is hangared beneath the main house on Tracy Island, and launches vertically from a pad camouflaged by a swimming pool which slides aside. The aircraft is primarily piloted by Scott Tracy, with Alan taking his place when he is unavailable as Thunderbirds 1 and 3 are rarely ever required on the same mission such as in the episode “Atlantic Inferno”, where Scott, as the eldest Tracy brother, takes charge while Jeff is on holiday. Jeff described it as “sleek, first and fast” at the beginning of Thunderbird 6. As the reconnaissance craft, it featured in virtually every episode of the series as a means of assessing what vehicles would be required for a rescue.
Gerry Anderson, MBE was an English television and film producer, director, writer and occasional voice artist. He was known for his futuristic television programmes, especially his 1960s productions filmed with “Supermarionation” marionette puppets containing electric moving parts.
Anderson’s first television production was the 1957 Roberta Leigh children’s series The Adventures of Twizzle. Supercar (1961–62) and Fireball XL5 (1962) followed later, both series breaking into the US television market in the early 1960s. In the mid-1960s Anderson produced his most successful series, Thunderbirds. Other television productions of the 1960s include Stingray and Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons.
Thunderbirds is a British science-fiction television series created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, filmed by their production company AP Films (APF) and distributed by ITC Entertainment. It was produced between 1964 and 1966 using a form of electronic marionette puppetry (dubbed “Supermarionation”) combined with scale model special effects sequences. Two series were filmed, comprising a total of 32 episodes. Production ceased after Lew Grade, the Andersons’ financial backer, failed in his efforts to sell the programme to American network television.
Widely considered to be the Andersons’ most popular and commercially successful series, Thunderbirds has received particular praise for its effects directed by Derek Meddings and musical score composed by Barry Gray. It is also well remembered for its title sequence, which opens with an often-quoted countdown by actor Peter Dyneley who voiced the character of Jeff: “5, 4, 3, 2, 1: Thunderbirds Are Go!” A real-life rescue service, the International Rescue Corps, is named after the organisation featured in the series.
