THE THUNDERBIRDS LEXICON
by Kristin D. |
F FAB 1: Vehicle driven driven by both Parker & Penelope. A striking pink Rolls Royce by all outward appearances, but it's a six-wheeled juggernaut. Its features include, a bullet-proof exterior, a top speed of 200 MPH, advanced audio/video transmitter/receivers, radiator-mounted & front twin sniper-sighted machine guns, rear-mounted harpoons, smoke screen generator with oil-slick capability. And for travel over water, a Vortex-Aquajet hydrofoil. All in all, FAB 1 is a vehicle to be reckoned with! FAB 2: Penelope's private yacht, like FAB 1, it is equipped with gadgets provided by International Rescue. Parker gambled it away on a casino visit. It is unknown if Parker won it back or Penelope bought it back. (The Man From MI5). FAB 3: Racehorse owned & ridden by Penelope, a fixture at Ascott Stables. It has won numerous derby races. Faccini: Hotel Manager at the Hotel Monte Bianco with his assistant Bruno. Faccini hosts a gala party to celebrate electricity coming to Monte Bianco. (Lord Parker's 'Oliday). Files, Mrs.: Maid/Servant at Ambro River plantation. She was also a servant under Lopez, the previous occupant. (Attack Of The Alligators!). Firefly: IR's primary firefighting vehicle, it can travel to the center of a blaze and snuff out a fire at its source. This can be done by means of nitro-glycerine charges fired from a front-mounted cannon. High-pressure water & low-pressure foam can be sprayed on a fire from a rear-mounted turret. Fireflash SST: a 600 passenger atomic powered aircraft. Owned and operated by Terrainean Air & based out of London Airport. Powered by 6 Atomus engines, it can travel up to six times the speed of sound with a cruising height of 250,000 feet. The cockpit is located above the main fuselage and between the two banks of engines. To protect crew & passengers from radiation exposure, the radiation shielding must be maintained on a regular basis. Though sometimes a target of sabotage, Fireflash is the air travel of choice for many. Flight D-103: Simulated footage of a fiery aircraft accident, such accident were the reason for Mr. Hackenbacker's breakthrough for safer air travel. (Alias Mr. Hackenbacker). Flying High: Song requested by Tin Tin & played by Rick O' Shea, dedicated to the Tracy Brothers. (Ricohet). Frank: Captain Hansen's co-pilot aboard Fireflash. He has his eye on Tin Tin. Franklin: Crewman on the Crablogger, stricken with food poisoning, he did not accompany McColl & Peterson on the fateful machine's wild ride. (Path Of Destruction). Fred, Light Fingered: Known as one of the best burglars & safecrackers, he his one of Parker's associates. He & Parker shared a cell at Parkmoor Scrubs Prison. Fred's dream was to knock over the Bank of England before going straight. He digs a tunnel and escapes by hiding in a trash can. Much to his dissapointment, he breaks into an already-empty vault! (Vault Of Death). Fulmer Finance Building: Located across the street from the toppled Empire State Building, it collapses during the rescue of Ned Cook and his cameraman. (TYNC). |
