Object
Doctor's Helicopter
A utilitarian rotary-wing aircraft painted in dark green and white, its rotors churning snow into whitecaps as it lands in the frozen expanse. The door bears no markings beyond a faded registration decal near the tail, its skids kicking up powdery Antarctic drift. The interior shows signs of hasty modifications—extra instruments mounted above the pilot’s seat, a narrow bench seat for passengers, and a scratched metal lunchbox wedged behind the co-pilot’s position. The Doctor ignores protocol and takes the controls himself, while Sarah Jane Smith slides the side door open with practiced ease, greeting Moberley as the engines’ roar fades.
