Christopher Jordan, corporate pilot for Tracy Industries in England, was hired on as Tracy Family pilot, and also as a secondary to Scott in Thunderbird One. He was popular with his peers, and owner of a precocious kitten named Asterix.
His career with International Rescue hit a snag while he was manning Mobile Control during a rescue, and a bold reporter managed to get close enough to speak with him. Given six months of menial tasks as a disciplinary action, he took his punishment with a good attitude – until he suddenly found his discipline cut short due to a seemingly similar indiscretion on the part of Dianne Tracy. Incensed at what he construed as blatant nepotism, he resigned, returning to England and leaving Asterix in the care of Kyrano.
Heather Kennedy, oldest daughter of a prominent Virginia family, was testing jets for Tracy Industries when she applied for the position of Tracy Family pilot. Obstensibly hired for that, she was instead brought on board as secondary pilot to Scott in Thunderbird One.
Unfortunately, a tragedy in the family sent her back home to Virginia within days of her arrival. As a result, her career with International Rescue was cut short just as it was about to begin.
Formerly a member of WASP, Brandon McCain held a position with Tracy Industries in San Diego, and was testing new marine equipment when he was tapped for International Rescue. He was transferred to IR Base with the idea that he would eventually pilot Thunderbird Eight, a proposed hydrofoil craft, as well as serve as second to Gordon Tracy on Thunderbird Four.
However, his aging parents were in a serious auto accident, and the consequent repercussions of that collision caused Brandon to regretfully tender his resignation. He returned to San Diego to help care for his parents and resumed his former post with Tracy Industries.
From Great Britain, Katy-Jane Williamson (known as "Kat") was hired on as a mechanic for the Tracy family, with her particular purview being the family's many personal vehicles. Her duties were expanded to include maintaining the pod vehicles and helping to maintain the Thunderbirds. She also served on several rescues.
Called home to give testimony in a court case, she found the love of her life in England and sadly resigned from the Tracy family's employ and from IR.
