Judging from the preview for this week's preview it's going to be a character-building episode for Virgil of what he has to make do with when he doesn't have Thunderbird 2 to back him up.
That by it's own statement will be disappointing to see International Rescue's Flagship transporter taken out of the picture, but the flip-side to that is it shows what a man can do when he is forced to make do with what he has. In any continuity of Thunderbirds of the Tracy family; Virgil is always shown to be the courageous member of the team that will do anything to get the job done. And I think in this week's episode will be no exception to the rule. And one visual spectacle that will be witnessed is seeing Thunderbird 2 crash land in Trafalgar Square, London. That said; this won't be the first time that she has crash-landed. Those that are young enough to remember the rough landing she made back at Tracy Island from Terror in New York will know that was due to being on fire from almost being shot down over the ocean. From the Synopsis I know of this episode is that it's a group of anti-technology group sends out an EMP in London and because TB2 was in the air, it's not invulnerable to it. If you've seen 2006's Superman Returns will know how far an EMP can stretch. I'm looking forward to this. As Grandma Tracy said It's not the gear that rescues people. It's the Tracy. - Grandma Tracy

I think TV Networks outside of the UK do a much more competent job of making exciting promos for Thunderbirds. ITV did fine with the promos and the accompanying trailer, but it seemed like TV2 had more of an emphasis on putting more adrenaline and excitement into the aforementioned promo below.
What I am enjoy in particular is that it's very similar to the teasers that would play before each Thunderbird episode from back in the day where you're treated to 20 seconds of images before going to the title reveal.
