MORE ORIGINAL BBC MODEL PROPS

Some more photos of the original model props that Mat Irvine brought along to Smallspace  that featured in various BBC Sci-fi TV series.

This is the Titan  shuttlecraft model used in the Doctor Who story The Invisible Enemy, notable as the tale that introduces The Doctor's mechanical companion, K-9.

There was two scaled versions on display, one large and one small.

The larger version was originally  fitted with an air canister  which when operated created the illusion  of vertical jets.

Both versions have interchangeable payloads, either Ambulance or Tanker to make it appear there was more than one craft.

This Moon Shuttle appeared in the short-lived 1973  Sci-fi series Moonbase 3.

The spacecraft  Dispensable appeared in the 1992-94 children's Sci-fi show Space Vets. For anyone who never saw the series, it was about a bunch of misfit space vets travelling around the galaxy helping alien animals. 

Space Vets could be described as a kid's version of Red Dwarf, with oddball wisecracks, and one of the characters, No. 2 being very reminiscent of Red Dwarf's' Rimmer.

Again, two scales were on display, one large and one small.
