LAST UPDATES: NOVEMBER 17, 2006: Page new layout

The following information has been taken from diverse sources, but mostly comes from "Century 21" No.15, Winter 1993, a Special Captain Scarlet issue, with a Complete Spectrum Encyclopaedia.

Thanks to "DJU" who has sent me these beautiful pictures to help me illustrate this section!

SPECTRUM EQUIPMENT:

SPECTRUM ISSUE SPACESUITS

These bulky pressure-suits, with colour-coded trim, were worn by Captains Scarlet, Blue and Lieutenant Green when entering the Mysterons' newly constructed complex in moon crater 101. The suits are silver in colour, with trims, helmets and belts if of the colour-code of their wearers. The helmets have miniature built-in transceivers, connected to an antenna to the left side of the head.
