MYSTERY LAND TRAIN AND THE JET PACK PILOT


This image is a screen shot from a documentary on UK TV last week called Jet Pack Dreamers: Own the Skies. I think the jet pack pilot shown is Bill Suitor.

I've snapped the shot because of the vintage land vehicle.

Wow!

What is that?

Anyone know?

  1. I remember this from when I was a little kid. It was from a Saturday morning show called Ark II.

  3. If you look at the lower front end of the Ark, that large square piece is mesh for the real driver of the rig to see out of.

    The body was reused after mods to make the Seeker full size prop for Space Academy, another Filmation series. Both series had episodes with Jonathon Harris and Robby the Robot!

    Space Academy, the Seeker, and some other props made appearances in the srquel Jason of Star Command.

    Robby really got around on TV. http://reflectionsonfilmandtelevision.blogspot.com/2012/05/cult-tv-faces-of-robby-robot.html

    1. Fab insights Lance as ever. Never heard of Seeker or Jason of Star Command. I'll check them out and try to spot Robby!
