A Thunderbird 6 post some time ago threw up some great comments from reader Yorkie, which inspired me to do a post dedicated to the Hood's 3E Sub. Yorkie observed that "Ah yes, the radio controlled sub model in the Tracy swimming pool episode 'The Man from MI5' [via You Tube up top] is the same model as used by the Hood in the episode 'Desperate Intruder' [pictured below]".
According to an old Thunderbirds models site the 3E submarine used by the Hood in Desperate Intruder and the toy submarine in the Tracy family's swimming pool appears to have been made of wood [M. Fratassio]. Apparently Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson owns the prop now.
Vivid Imaginations made a tiny toy playset in 2002 which occasionally turns up on Amazon and Ebay. Is the 3E sub popular with Thunderbirds fans do you think?
