Co., Everett, WA Lines: 25 Well, let's see: Thunderbird 1 was the jazzy inter-atmospheric rocket which was always the first one on the scene. Thunderbird 2 was the slower cargo ship which carried a container with equipment for any emergency (even riots by pre-schoolers?). Thunderbird 3 was the rocket for intra-atmospheric (i.e. space for all youse non-technical bozos) travel. Thunderbird 4 was the sub sometimes carried in Thunderbird 2's hold. Thunderbird 5 was the sattelite station which monitored distress calls, and was generally allocated to the most uninteresting son (or the puppet who had the most difficult jaw-strings). And just as a bonus, Lady Penelophe's car had a licence plate with "FAB 1" on it. Now I'll up the ante... on UFO, what were the different defense systems that were used to repel aliens?
