Klepton flying machine: Difference between revisions

The '''flying machines''', called '''"bubble machines"''' by the First Doctor, were vehicles used by the [[Klepton]]s. A flying machine had a large glass bubble-shaped dome for its body, a single seat for the pilot, an antenna on top, wings and a landing base. They could fly both through the air and under water.

In the [[30th century]], the Kleptons attacked a [[Thain]] [[Thain city|city]] in their flying machines, which they used to abduct Thains and cause [[creeper]]s to destroy many of their buildings. When the [[First Doctor]], [[John Who|John]] and [[Gillian Who|Gillian]] arrived, a Klepton flying machine attempted to abduct Gillian, but John threw a brick at it, shattering the dome and causing it to crash. During a second attack, eight flying machines were shot down by the Thains' [[heat gun]]s, one of which was repaired and used by the time travellers to follow the Kleptons to their [[Klepton city|underwater city]]. After they freed the Thain slaves there, they used the flying machines in the [[airlock]] to escape and return to the Thain city.
