All that grey paint and US logos seems to be holding us back! Doesn't matter how much smoke I pump out the back, I just can't catch that Dimrod or Ramrod or whatever it is...

"So Virgil. What do you think of the new Thunderbird 2 replacement out there?"

"Are there any strings attached?"

Obesity was an ever-growing problem in the USAF and it became increasingly necessary for airframe design to reflect this issue.

Inside the pod of Thunderbird 2, Gordon wasn't exactly looking forward to this supposed 'friendly' seek-and-destroy mission that Virgil had talked him into.

A VTOL aircraft which is 250 feet long with a wingspan of 180 feet and a height of 60 feet. A long-range craft, which is capable reaching anywhere in the world without refuelling and has a maximum speed of 5000 mph (but cruises at 2000 mph) ... BAe just needs to upgrade Thunderbird 2 to the same spec

A testament to British engineering, gentlemen, and the manner in which our industry overshadows all others when it comes to innovation. As you will observe, there are only two engines in the wing-roots, not four.

Is that Thunderbird 2's in flight refuelling probe, or is he just happy to see us?
