Origin
An illustration
by Eric Eden in a feature in TV21 magazine #87 of 17 September 1966,
showing the vehicle towing a longboat in the 2066 celebrations
of the Battle of Hastings 1000th anniversary.
The cab design of both vehicles is based on that of the Thunderbirds Transmitter Truck (aka Jodrell 6) which subsequently reappeared in this TV series in other guises and colours.
