Jeremy is a jet plane who lives at the Sodor Airport.

Bio

Thomas first met Jeremy when he was on his way to a picnic. When Jeremy told him how great it was to be a jet plane, Thomas thought that he was boasting about it, deciding never to talk to Jeremy ever again. Thomas soon became upset that Jeremy didn't have to wait for Signals or stop because of Cows on the line, but after Jeremy warned him about a thunderstorm, which Thomas responded to picking up the children at the picnic and returning to the airport to ask Jeremy if the children could have the picnic in his hanger, Thomas then thought of him as a really useful jet plane.

Jeremy once took the Duke and Duchess of Boxford back to the mainland.

Persona

Jeremy is a jet plane who lives at the Sodor Airport. Being a light aircraft, he enjoys being able to tear through the air at speed, see things from the air that others on the ground cannot, and not encountering the obstacles that a steam engine might. As such, Jeremy can have quite a proud, inflated view of himself and may inadvertently put down the usefulness of an engine friend by speaking without thinking. Jeremy will shrug off, rarely acknowledge, or choose to ignore the many things that his engine friends can do that he cannot. But Jeremy has a very positive nature and is always happy to team up and lend a hand for the benefit of others, completely putting aside his one-upsmanship to be a good friend.

Basis

Jeremy is based on a 1963 BAC One-Eleven Airliner.

Livery

Jeremy is painted white with a navy stripe.

Trivia

How he is piloted is a mystery, as his eyes apparently replace the cockpit's windscreen.
Jeremy is extremely out of scale: he is portrayed as being half the height of Thomas and the humans are almost as tall as he is.
Jeremy's Take-Along character card features a picture of an ordinary airplane instead of Jeremy.
According to the official website, Jeremy is the only named plane on Sodor. But there is also Tiger Moth.
