"Thunderbird 4: a submarine for underwater rescue. It is carried
aboard Thunderbird 2 in Pod 4, although it can deploy on its own...

Pod 4, which contains the submarine vehicle Thunderbird 4 and other
undersea rescue equipment, is designed to be dropped from the hovering
Thunderbird 2 directly onto the surface of the water. Through the
series, there is one example of the pod being retrieved (in 'Day of
Disaster').

The pod vehicles which would emerge from one of TB2's pods each week include:

The Mole: a high-speed, manned tunnelling machine that can dig through
anything, even rock"

Please let me know if this would be a fully satisfactory answer. If
not, it would be helpful to know what additional material you need.

i think if there was a name for the pods, that's what we are after but
if there is no name for them that will do.

I'll leave this open in the hopes that another Researcher will be able
to find the names of the pods.

Howdy wattsy-ga,

My mate Matt and I are Thunderbird enthusiasts, to the extent that Matt bid
on some of the various supermarionation body parts that came up at auction
a few years back.

To your question, the pods didn't have names other than "Pod" followed by
a number.  Thunderbird 4 was carried in Pod 4, and The Mole was in Pod 5.


In a possible error, Thunderbird 4 is shown leaving Pod 6, and The Mole is
shown leaving Pod 4 in some episodes, another possible error.

Here are some of the other vehicles that were carried in the Pods.

The end-parenthesis in the link that I posted was dropped from the
hyperlink by the GA system. It works if cut and pasted.
