Trivia[]
- Referred to as being an "Angel Executive Aircraft" by Virgil, the plane looks like it was made from a Monogram Piper TriPacer model kit.
- A digitally altered version of the close-up shot of the fuel jettison pane appeared in the Thunderbirds 1965 episode The Abominable Snowman.
- The model was later reused as Professor Carney's RC plane in the "Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons" episode Codename Europa.
