The Ultra Probe appeared in the Space 1999 episode, Dragon's Domain, and it's beaked nose cone which, along with the Meta Probe ship, the Swift, Super Swift, Hawk and, of course the Eagle, maintains that continuity with all the imagined '1999' Earth space craft design.
A replica Meta Probe as seen amongst the All Sections Alpha display at the F.I.F.
As this is the smallest model of the Ultra Probe (the largest full length one is 5 foot long) it's detailing isn't as fine as it's larger brother, although it's still looks pretty good to me.
The small nose cone is detachable ( In the episode,the character of pilot Tony Cellini escapes in a much more detailed model of the nose cone escape pod, and on his return, docks with the main Ultra Probe ship using an Eagle nose cone.)
Another excellent replica of the Ultra Probe nose cone provided by a member of the All Sections Alpha modelling team.
More from the F.I.F. model display to follow.
