The Air Sea Rescue Boat was a vehicle used in Operation Crash-Dive, The Impostors and The Man From MI.5.
Operation Crash-Dive[]
It was used in "Operation Seahawk" during the hunt for the crashed airliner Fireflash 3; however, the operation was called off when nothing was found.
The Impostors[]
It was also used to trace the location of International Rescue.
The Man From MI.5[]
The air sea rescue boat was repainted with the words "Coastal Patrol" on its hull and used in the French Riviera scene.
Carl had planted a radio-controlled bomb in the Boat House in which Lady Penelope was tied up. The plan was to detonate the bomb, as the Coastal patrol boat passes, as to create a diversion, while he and his gang make their escape in a Mini-Sub.
Trivia[]
- The Air Sea Rescue Boat model was built using a Vosper Triple-screw Yacht toy made by Victory Industries.
- The same model also appeared in the later series "Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons" and "Joe 90", with various modifications.
Cutaway Drawings[]
As far as is known, only one cutaway drawing of the Air Sea rescue boat exists. Illustrated by Graham Bleathman, it appears in a Redan comic that was published in the 2000s.
