Cloudbase's lookalikes
Moderator: Spectrum Strike Force
I bought the movie recently, and saw the said image again, and thought it was time I show it to you all, to see what your reaction would be. I found the image on the net. Here it is:

In the movie, it's called a 'mobile airstrip' - and if you're wondering, it's commandeered by a dashing British officer played by a one-eyed Angelina Jolie...
In addition to this, here's another picture. People who read ou had read Marvel Comic Group comics might recognise it:

This is a recent rendition of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier, the hovering headquarters or the S.H.I.E.L.D. organisation, an anti-spies organisation which leader is (still one-eyed!) Colonel Nick Fury. The Helicarrier has been seen in many Marvel comics, but most notably in Captain America. I have to admit that I don't know WHEN the Helicarrier has been thought of for the comics. To my knowledge, it exists since the 70s, but it might older than that. I will have to check that, if only out of curiosity.
But you have to admit there is a similarities between these two carriers AND Cloudbase!
Waiting for your reaction...
And have you ever seen yourself ANYTHING elsewhere that might have reminded you of SOMETHING from the Captain Scarlet series?

And there is this other page, with a few of the same drawings, and a blueprint!
