"Captain Scarlet" is a British TV series from the 1960s, part of the "Supermarionation" genre created by Gerry Anderson. The show features a futuristic setting with Captain Scarlett, a heroic agent defending Earth from the Mysterons, an alien race. The series is known for its innovative puppet animation and thrilling action.
The Angel Interceptor is a single seater strike aircraft developed by International Engineering from the World Army Air Force 'Viper' Jet, but the final blueprint of the Angel is vastly different from the original Viper, having been specially adapted for Cloudbase requirements. 60 ft (18.29 m) long, precision engineered, the plane is incredibly compact, carrying extra electronic instruments and mammoth fuel tanks which enable the aircraft to complete any mission without refuelling. Three Angel Interceptors are always positioned on the aerial launch platform on Cloudbase ready for immediate take-off. Entry to the cockpit is by hydraulic lift from the Cloudbase Amber Room up through the hull of the craft, such that the pilot is ejected into the cockpit complete with her seat. Instruments and gunsights are arranged within easy view of the pilot, who has all-round visibility. The craft is equipped with a flight computer auto-pilot fitted behind the pilot's seat.
From the Captain Scarlet TV Series, the Angel Interceptor is a sleek, supersonic fighter jet designed to operate from a floating air carrier Cloudbase. With its distinctive delta wing and powerful engines, the Angel Interceptor is a symbol of Spectrum's cutting-edge technology and relentless vigilance against extraterrestrial dangers. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
