<I>International Rescue</I> make a guest appearance at the World Airshow, allowing the public a rare chance to see the <I>Thunderbirds</I> out on display on the high-altitude platform. After Lady Penelope introduces the Tracy boys and Kayo to a young boy called Tom, winner of the ‘Meet a Thunderbird’ competition, the team watch as Professor Kwark of Kwark Industries attempts to break the air-speed record in her high-velocity jet, <I>Icarus</I>. Kwark’s attempt is successful and the <I>Icarus</I> hits Mach 21, breaking the previous record held by Jeff Tracy - but then the aircraft’s controls malfunction, preventing the professor from slowing it down. Scott attempts to help the <I>Icarus</I> by using <I>Thunderbird 1</I>’s tow cable, but the resulting drag causes Kwark’s plane to become unstable. Tom and Virgil come up with an alternative plan, and by using <I>Thunderbird 2</I>’s water canon to spray water vapour across the <I>Icarus</I>’s path, they create a cloud-ramp that sends the stricken plane into space. Alan and Kayo follow in <I>Thunderbird 3</I>, but their attempt to use grappling arm fails when the <I>Icarus</I> starts to disintegrate. With her ship breaking apart and her air running out, Professor Kwark is forced to eject into space…
