After arriving at London International Airport in Thunderbird 2, Virgil Tracy takes the three heavy-rescue Elevator Cars out to the end of Runway 29, to help the incoming Fireflash airliner to land with its landing-gear up - thus averting triggering the bomb placed aboard earlier, by The Hood....
The Fireflash Makes It's Approach[]
As Fireflash makes its approach to the airport, one of the radio-controlled Elevator Cars suddenly develops a fault; and the landing must be aborted at the last second. With a replacement Elevator Car in position, Fireflash makes a second approach, and this time lands on all three Elevator Cars safely. But when Virgil applies maximum brakes, his Master Control Car vehicle slews crazily out of control and crashes - leaving Virgil dazed, upside-down but unhurt.
