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.
Yes, I was rather
pleased with it myself.
Uh, uh, excuse me.
All the family
send their love to you.
Uh, excuse me,
Mr. Alan. Excuse me.
What is it, Parker?
Uh, your aircraft, sir.
It's got no pilot.
I... I just thought
I'd point it out to you, sir.
Parker.
I'm finished with it now.
Now, you were saying,
Penelope...
Mr. Alan, please!
Don't you understand?
It's gonna crash
into the house!
Parker! What has
got into you?
Sorry about that, Alan.
Stone the crows...
It's going to land
on its own.
Parker? Milady?
Tin Tin's
an excellent pilot.
Don't you think, Parker?
You should have seen
Parker's face, Tin Tin.
It was the funniest thing
I've ever seen in my life.
I can just imagine it.
Of course, I saw immediately
what Alan was up to
because I knew
you were on board.
Jeff called me yesterday.
I could hardly
keep a straight face.
Come in.
All the baggage
is aboard, milady.
Thank you, Parker.
Now, there's only one thing
left to do before we leave.
Bon voyage.
Bon voyage.
Bon voyage, milady.
As president of the New
World Aircraft Corporation...
this flight is of paramount
importance to me.
The fact that members
of International Rescue...
will be on
the maiden flight...
enables us to achieve
worldwide publicity.
In order to make this
possible in the first place...
we have given
assurances to them...
that the strictest
security arrangements...
will be enforced.
That is why the airfield is
cleared of all personnel.
The passengers are due
to arrive in, um...
30 minutes.
Contact.
