FAB 2
FAB 2, also styled FAB II, was Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward's yacht.
History[[edit] | [edit source]]
Pursuing Mr Steelman to Monte Carlo in 2066, Lady Penelope and Parker travelled there from Great Britain in FAB 2, taking FAB 1 with them. Parker activated its automatic bosun during the journey while Penelope enjoyed a cup of tea. FAB 2 was later positioned in a lake so that Penelope, now donning a wetsuit acquired from the ship, could locate some stolen money concealed in its depths. The cases of cash proved too heavy to lift, however, and Penelope left FAB 2 for the shore after drying herself with a towel, leaving Parker to purchase a fishing rod and retrieve the ill-gotten gains while she did some further investigation. Some time passed and Parker was present on the yacht to witness Mr Steelman attempt to evade Lady Penelope by driving his amphibious car into the lake and onwards to his base. When Steelman resurfaced, attempting to escape from Penelope yet again, Parker had been warned of his approach and fired the craft's machine cannon at him before successfully apprehending him by fishing him from the wreckage with his rod. (COMIC: The Great Silver Robbery!) After an adventure involving a Bereznik assassination plot in Paris, Lady Penelope and Parker, along with their associate Roger Lyon, returned to England on FAB 2. (COMIC: The Assassination Threat)
In an account dated to January 1965, Lady Penelope used FAB 2 in order to lure out those responsible for the murder of MI5 agent Captain Blacker. Anchored off the coast of Monte Carlo, Penelope told Parker to inform the newspapers that leading fashion model Gayle Williams, an alias, had arrived on her yacht intent on tracking down the culprits. She then allowed Parker to go the casino while she waited on the boat for her plan to work. Carl took the bait and kidnapped Lady Penelope at gunpoint in the dead of night, not before putting a bullet hole in her bedroom mirror after she didn't take him seriously. International Rescue eventually saved Lady Penelope and caught the gang led by Carl. As they were returning home to England in FAB 1, Penelope asked how Parker had fared in the casino while she was busy. Somewhat reluctantly, prefacing the statement by claiming to have had a system, he revealed that he had gambled away her yacht. (TV: The Man from MI.5)
