Eagle Rescue Pod

Same as standard transporter pod, with red vertical stripes, used in rescue operations. Usually it is Eagle 4.

Note other rescue Eagles also appeared with other pods: The Exiles (Eagle 4, standard pod); The Metamorph and All That Glisters (Eagle 4, booster pod).

A number of publicity photos were taken of the Rescue Pod, and many of the models and toys included the rescue stripes.

First appearance, in Earthbound.	Eagle launches	Eagles 1 and 2 in space (this is the 22 inch Eagle model, other shots are the 44 inch Eagle).
The pod is seen detached, and with a docking tube.	Eagle 4 in Missing Link. The launch starts with this nice close up. The wider shot of the launch is lifted from Earthbound.	Rescue Eagle 4 lands next to Eagle 1 (the latter is a photographic cut-out).
Here Rescue Eagle 4 is a photo cut-out.	Rescue Eagle 4 in Collision Course. Note there are no stripes on the lower rim of the transporter pod.	Eagle 4 (first 44 inch Eagle) docks with Eagle 1 (second 44 inch Eagle).
Rescue Eagle 4 is here played by the 22 inch Eagle. The stripes are full-length.	Rescue Eagle 4 in Space Brain. The launch scene is lifted from Earthbound. This is the 22 inch Eagle. In the space walk scenes the pod is a normal transporter pod, with no stripes.	The only appearance of in Year Two, in Space Warp. It is just visible through the flames in the Eagle hangar, top right.
On the far left side, the rescue pod can be seen in this shot from Guardian Of Piri. (This isn't a complete 44inch Eagle- it's only the pod, one rear leg, the rear engines and a spine, the missing bits carefully obscured by set dressing and the edge of the frame. The rest of the Eagle is on the right).	This Eagle in Alpha Child has a repainted rescue pod- the stripes are still clearly visible. This is also seen in the Guardian Of Piri shot (the small Eagle lifting off).
