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 on launch pad |
 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. |
 Close up of the 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 first of just two appearances in Year Two, in The Metamorph. The pod is visible right. |
 The second appearance 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). |
