Gentlemen...
We are gathered here today
as representatives...
of some of the greatest
design teams in the world.
We are here to listen
to a proposal...
from a Mr. X...
a man who is 50 years
ahead of his time...
A man who is undoubtedly...
the world's greatest
aircraft designer.
The daddy of them all.
Mr. X?
Are you with us?
Yes...
I am with you,
Mr. President.
Gentlemen, you must
forgive the extraordinary...
security precautions
taken today.
But when I tell you
that Mr. X...
is none other than
the man who designed...
the International
Rescue aircraft...
you will understand the
importance of security.
Mr. X has a proposition
to put to us...
for a revolutionary
new type of aircraft.
It is, perhaps...
the history of our company.
And now, gentlemen,
the moment has come.
What is it to be?
An aircraft that flies 10 times
the speed of sound...
the speed of light?
If I were able to guess...
Mr. X would not
be here today.
And now, Mr. X, it is
with great excitement...
that we await breathlessly...
the details
of your new design.
Well, gentlemen...
a good idea...
in this day and age
of, uh, speed...
And, uh, things like that...
to build an... airship.
An airship?
An airship?
A beautiful island
in the pacific...
secret base of
International Rescue...
So far undetected.
Outwardly, the luxury home
of millionaire ex-astronaut...
Jeff Tracy.
Now, let's have a rundown...
on the International
Rescue craft.
At the moment, there are 5.
Thunderbird 1...
sleek, first, and fast.
Thunderbird 2...
giant transporter.
Carries all the rescue
gear to the danger zone.
Thunderbird 3...
designed for space rescue.
Thunderbird 4...
capable of withstanding
the pressure of the depths.
Thunderbird 5...
space monitor.
Capable of receiving
or intercepting...
distress calls from
any part of the world.
And I'm telling you, Brains,
in no uncertain terms...
That we now need
a Thunderbird 6.
Sure, Mr. Tracy.
But can you give me
some sort of a steer?
I like to work
to a specification.
Specification?
You didn't need to work
to a specification...
when you designed
that airship...
for the New World
Aircraft Corporation.
That's right. I didn't.
And what happened?
They laughed.
Yeah, that's right.
They laughed.
And then they built it.
There you are, Brains.
Your specially commissioned
painting of Skyship 1.
Thanks, Virgil.
It's really great.
But I guess that's
about the nearest...
I'm gonna get to it
for some time.
Brains.
But I've got this feeling,
and I know I'm not wrong.
We desperately need
a Thunderbird 6.
That's OH, Mr. Tracy.
Of course,
I would have liked...
to have been on
the maiden voyage.
Sure.
But at least
International Rescue...
will be represented by
Alan, Tin Tin, and Penelope.
They'll give you
a full report.
So, you like
the painting, eh?
Say, talking of painting...
Alan?
Yes, Dad?
Don't forget, it's your
farewell dinner tonight.
Just 10 more minutes, Dad,
and I'll be through.
How's she looking?
Great. Just great.
I finished our
packing, Mr. Tracy.
Our packing?
Tin Tin, come here a minute.
Certainly, Mr. Tracy.
Tin Tin, Alan wanted
to travel to England...
in an unconventional way.
Well, I've organized that.
But it's gonna be
a long journey...
and not exactly the way
for a young lady to travel...
in this day and age.
You are traveling
by scheduled airline.
But Mr. Tracy...
I want to travel with Alan.
Now, Alan leaves tomorrow...
and you leave
in 2 weeks' time.
Understand?
Come on, Mother, over here.
You'll get a good view.
Well, I guess we've seen
a lot of launchings...
but this will beat all.
Say, where's Tin Tin?
I don't know, Dad.
Strange.
Unusual for her
not to see Alan off.
Here she comes.
So long, folks.
Dearest Brains...
I know how much
and I feel that you, not I,
should be making this trip.
But, of course, you are the one
person who cannot be spared.
Love, Tin Tin.
P.S...
I stowed aboard
the Tiger with Alan.
She's what?
That's right, Mr. Tracy.
She's aboard
the Tiger with Alan.
With the greatest of ease
in his flying machine
His movements are graceful
All girls he can please
Isn't it a lovely ouit?
It belonged to my ancestor,
Well? What do you think,
Parker?
I think it's very elegant,
milady.
Mind you, I prefer
mini-skirts m'self...
but I suppose
it's appropriate...
that you should be dressed
like that...
For the revival of
the airship, so to speak.
Thank you, Parker.
And that ouit
suits you beautifully.
Well, if Alan's
on schedule...
he should be arriving
at any moment.
Yes, milady.
I understand that he's been
on his way now for 2 weeks.
That's him, Parker.
We must go onto the roof
and see him land.
Come on.
There it is, Tin Tin.
Yes, Alan!
It looks lovely!
OH. You know what to do.
I expect he's
coming in to land.
Milady, he's coming
straight for us!
I don't believe it.
Hi, Penny. Hi, Parker.
Alan, I'm so glad
you're safe.
You gave us quite a scare.
Gee, I like
your ouit, Penelope.
