Trivia
- This story is set shortly before the events of Trapped in the Sky, with International Rescue almost ready to begin operating.
- In complete contrast to the television series, Jeff Tracy both knows of, and even name drops, The Hood. His brief description of the criminal would be used once more in the Agents' Technical Manual.
- A Dutch version titled "Kennismaking met The Thunderbirds" was released on LP in the Netherlands. The B-side featured a Dutch version of The Abominable Snowman.
- The audio story was turned into an episode in 2015, as part of the Kickstarter-funded Thunderbirds 1965 project. See Introducing Thunderbirds.
