THE THUNDERBIRDS LEXICON
by Kristin D. |
U Umbrella: Penelope gives Parker an umbrella to catch the cable hooks to connect the free-falling cable gondola to Thunderbird 2. It also doubled as a parachute. (The Cham-Cham). Uniforms: Uniforms worn by International Rescue personnel are kept ready to go in their respective craft and are only worn when they are on a rescue call. The uniform consists of a cobalt-blue pullover tunic & matching trousers, a color-coded sash which displays the IR insignia and has a built-in sidearm holster with holders for stun-gas & laser clips. Knee-high boots and a bicorner hat completes the ensemble. Sash colors are as follows: Scott: light blue, Virgil: yellow, John: lilac, Gordon: orange, Alan: off-white and Jeff & Brains: brown. Tin Tin's uniform is similar to the others, but without a sash. Unit Insignia: The official International Rescue insignia features an outstretched hand over the Earth with red IR initials. Underground Rivers: Over the course of many centuries, the ground beneath New York has been eroded by underground bodies of water. Due to these waterways, the ground gave way beneath the moving of the Empire State Building, causing it to collapse. (TYNC). Upstairs Lounge: A "sky parlor" at Tracy Villa. The Tracys discuss the plans to rescue the Sun Probe rocket in this room. (Sun Probe). Utility Laser Cutter: A large pistol-sized laser cutting device. Gordon cuts through the window of the Fireflash cockpit using this cutter to rescue the crew. (Operation Crash-Dive). |
