- Skydivers were fictional futuristic submarines featured in Gerry Anderson's TV series UFO, operated by the secretive SHADO organisation as part of Earth's defences against alien aggressors. Like many Anderson vehicles, Skydiver One (almost identical to Skydiver Three, the only other to be seen, in the episode "The Psychobombs") was designed by Derek Meddings. It could be distinguished from a conventional submarine by its prominent conning tower and by the supersonic twin-engined interceptor fighter that replaced the bow section. An unspecified number of Skydivers patrolled Earth's oceans. Each Skydiver was numbered and the composite sections were referred to as Sky or Diver One, Two, Three etc. Skydiver One was most frequently seen in the course of the series, and if a generic reference was made to 'Skydiver' (e.g. the command 'put Skydiver on alert') then this was the one that tended to be referred to. However, the ill-fated Skydiver Three was seen briefly in the episode "The Psychobombs", and in the same episode references were made to Sky 4. (en)
