Remote control

The Eagle remote control is first used in Breakaway. It is also used in Ring Around The Moon, The Full Circle, Space Brain, The Last Sunset, Bringers Of Wonder part 1 (briefly visible) & The Seance Spectre.

In the first series it is seen in Main Mission on either Paul's or Alan's desks. Alan fiddles with it in Earthbound.

Other remote control units have an identical appearance but are used for operating other remote equipment. These are seen in the research unit in The Exiles (operates lasers), in Weapons in Beta Cloud (operates laser cannon), in Command Centre in A Matter Of Balance (operates Big Screen), in the Eagle passenger module in Dragon's Domain and The A B Chrysalis, and in Eagle 4 cockpit in Space Warp.
