Give or Take a Million - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode, we see the models of Thunderbirds 1, 3 and 4 on the table next to Nicky and you can see that Thunderbird 1's nosecone near the edge of the table. But when Nicky asks for Thunderbird 3 to be launched, we see a close up of the model, and Thunderbird 1 is now situated next to Thunderbird 4.

Give or Take a Million - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: When the security chief says to Preston outside the vault, "OK Preston, check it out," you can see that Preston has nothing in his right hand, but in the next scene a baton has suddenly appeared.

Path of Destruction - S2-E2

Plot hole: In order to build up suspense, Virgil and Brains stand on the Crab Logger as its dangerous fuel is pumped out, despite the fact that it is hanging on the edge of a precipice. In fact they could have left as soon as they had plumbed in the pipes to empty the fuel tanks - the whole procedure is controlled by Scott in Thunderbird 1 and they make absolutely no contribution to the operation at all. They do not need to disconnect the pipes; they are left behind and dropped from Thunderbird 1 as planned. They just stand there chatting about how much danger they are in until jumping clear at the very last second. Silly buggers.
