Terrahawks - Behind The Scenes Special

Dr Tiger Ninestein's own space vehicle, the Hawklet, appears in the episode 'Jolly Roger One'. Designed by SFX Director Steven Begg with a puppet-sized set built to match designed by Gary Tomkins. The craft is called Hawklet but the design has the original description 'All-Atmosphere-Escape-Vehicle, and the model has 'NEV' on the top and side, possibly in the style of the MEV so it could be 'Ninestein Excursion Vehicle'?

Below: The miniature figure of Ninestein at the controls, with his name 'Tiger' on the very nose of the ship.

Below: Photographs of the puppet set designed by Gary Tomkins being built at the studio.
