Back cover

Released in late 2017, the manual additionally contains cutaway drawings of a number of vehicles - most of which featured in Thunderbirds, with two making an appearance in Thunderbirds Are Go. These vehicles include Zero-X, the WAF Wombat, the RTL-2, and World Navy battleship W.N.S. Atlantic.

Also included in the book is a cross-section of Glenn Field (and a separate cutaway drawing of its control tower) as well as a documentation of the Zero X flight sequence and a section about Paul Travers, Greg Martin, and Brad Newman, all of whom appeared in Thunderbirds Are Go. Finally there is a photograph of W.N.S. Reaper next to a cross-section of the Clam Class submarine, a vessel from Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. The fact that the latter submarine is said to be based on the original ‘Reaper’ prototype which first saw active service in 2066 seems to justify the aforementioned photograph’s appearance.
