Daniel Barton's plane was a passenger aeroplane, that Barton used for his business operations as CEO of VOR.

Plane thieves

Team TARDIS hide and escape from Barton after surviving the plane


Circa mid-2019, the Thirteenth Doctor installed videos and a survival guide within the plane's mechanisms.

In 2020, during the execution of Barton and the Spy Master's scheme, Team TARDIS followed him onto the plane. Unbeknownst to them, the Master had pre-warned Barton. This allowed for Barton to arm a bomb and escape from the plane, whilst the others took off in it. The Master revealed himself to the Doctor whilst onboard. He had then planned for the bomb to destroy the cockpit and get rid of the Doctor, Graham, Ryan and Yaz. After he had teleported out of the plane, however, the Kasaavin arrived on the plane and teleported the Doctor elsewhere, leaving the companions trapped inside as the bomb exploded and destroyed the cockpit. This left them in a panic as they crashed towards the ground.

Thanks to the Doctor's pre-installed messages, and a modified connection to the engines under the flooring using an app installed on Ryan's phone, the three companions were able to safely fly the plane using Ryan's phone. They subsequently landed at one of Barton's airports. This greatly annoyed Barton, who dubbed Team TARDIS "plane thieves".

After Ryan asked how the Doctor had saved them on the plane, the Doctor was prompted to go back in time and make the modifications that saved her companions. (TV: Spyfall [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).)
