Whirling (TARDIS flight)

According to some accounts, the Doctor's TARDIS travelled by "whirling", (COMIC: The Gyros Injustice, et al.) spinning itself very quickly to move across time and space. (COMIC: The Klepton Parasites, The Gyros Injustice) The time rotor would also spin wildly during this process. (COMIC: The TARDIS Worshippers)

For the First Doctor, whirling began when the TARDIS was at its original location, spinning until it disappeared (COMIC: The Klepton Parasites) and then hurtling through space while still whirling until it reached its destination planet, prone to meteorites. (COMIC: The Therovian Quest) For the Second Doctor, the TARDIS first dematerialised, (COMIC: The Zombies, et al.) then whirled in space between materialisations. (COMIC: Pursued by the Trods, The Champion, et al.)

The Second Doctor once encountered a web which caught whirling time travelers. (COMIC: The Champion)

The term "whirling" was familiar to the Quarks, who were also capable of time travel. (COMIC: The Killer Wasps)

The Eighth Doctor's TARDIS whirled in his dream where he was with John Who and Gillian Who. (COMIC: The Land of Happy Endings)

Other information[]

The TARDIS also spun while travelling in space on many occasions, (TV: Frontier in Space, The Parting of the Ways, The Runaway Bride, et al.) as well as when it left siege mode and then landed with a blast of force which blew back the Boneless. (TV: Flatline)
