The Thunderbirds was a British sci-fi series that was first broadcast in the 1960s. The show followed a secretive organisation named International Rescue which monitored the globe for those in grave danger and set about employing highly advanced vehicles and capability to rescue them.
The listed co-ordinates will not help you find anything but an outline of my favourite episode might help establish the minute decimals for the cache location.
An emergency SOS call goes out to International Rescue from an undersea mining operation where a drilling rig has collapsed and sunk to the bottom of the sea, trapping several personnel on the ocean floor. John Tracy takes the call and relays the distress signal to his father at Tracy Island. Gordon Tracy immediately makes ready knowing what will be needed.
John Tracy informs the trapped riggers that IR is on its way while Mr Tracy deploys Scott Tracy to take-off immediately, recon the scene and report back.
Reports from the scene suggest things are dire. The trapped miners are running out of air and there is high risk of an explosion due to leaking oil at the drill site. The entire IR team kick into action. Lady Penelope continues to cruise around in her six-wheeled Rolls Royce.
Virgil Tracy takes off from his launch pad, palm trees splayed, headed for the scene of the disaster. John Tracy continues to co-ordinate the rescue and steer the IR team towards to site.
The drop is made and Gordon Tracy is deployed, using the built-in electromagnets to pull away the steel wreckage of the rig trapping the miners underwater.
Meanwhile, Scott Tracy attaches cables to the rigging to prevent a further collapse. The situation becomes grim when water starts to leak into the trapped miners. Time is running short. Gordon Tracy pulls away the last piece of rigging and the trapped miners float to the surface only moments before a massive underwater explosion. Scott Tracy then attaches himself to the floating compartment and the rescue is complete. International Rescue saves the day again.
Once you have a solution you can deploy your own vehicle to rescue the cache.
