History:

Chan Kwan is the daughter of a successful Chinese business family, with small offices in Peking and Tokyo. Chan Kwan was born in Honshu, Japan, whilst her mother accompanied her father on official business. Being the only daughter of wealthy, Chinese, flying-taxi service (Peking Taxi Corps, Peking, People’s Republic of China) owners, Chan grew up in a world of various high speed aircraft, mostly jet-planes. After her education at Tokyo high school (Chan travelled between China and Japan in the holidays, but stayed with relatives of her mother whilst at school), and then at an unnamed finishing school in London, England (until age 17), Chan Kwan soon realised that the only real career she ever wanted was the one which truly flowed through the blood of her family, flying. But at her father’s request, Chan gave in and enrolled at Tokyo University (until 2062, aged 20), taking degree level courses in physics and aerodynamics, also presumably electro-mechanics. However every minute of her spare time was taken up flying with friends she’d made at the Tokyo Flying Club, and although she gained grade-1 honours degrees in her chosen subjects, her only ambition now that she’d graduated, was to prove that she could pilot a small jet-engined aircraft single-handedly round the world. And so she spent the next two years (2062-2064) perfecting her flying skills, and with the money from a fund set up for her by her father, she purchased a used, single-seater, flight-trainer jetplane, spending the next three months in the workshops of her father’s flying taxi company “souping up” and converting it to her personal requirements. On 2 March 2064 Chan Kwan set off on her lonely voyage around the globe. Her first attempts failed, when after only 36 hours of solo flight, Chan received a weak distress signal from three men stranded helpless aboard a blazing fuel tanker in the Pacific ocean. With her perfect flying and some split-second timing Chan managed to land her small plane on the deck of the ship. Rescuing the exhausted men, she flew the four of them back to land (after stripping the plane’s fuselage down to its bare essentials). The rescue’s a success, and Chan Kwan was acclaimed a heroine the world over, and six months later her ambitions were finally fulfilled when she single-handedly flew her way around the world, breaking all previous records. But in September of 2065 Chan’s father died leaving her in full command of the family business, Peking Taxi Corps. Though of course she was well catered for by her father’s trust fund, and within a year, under her personal management, the firm expended into one of the biggest and swiftest freight and flying taxi services in the eastern world. In mid 2066 it was her dedication to a cause and her great flying abilities which made her the unanimous choice of the Spectrum selection committee, for one of their Angel pilots, and so Chan Kwan was given the code name Harmony Angel.

 

Notes of interest: In the first episodes, the voice of Harmony Angel was performed by Sylvia Anderson, then Lian-Shin was hired to give her her voice.
