Tardis

The Family of Blood's ship was the vessel used by the Family of Blood. It was fitted with a stolen vortex manipulator to travel through time and track the Doctor's TARDIS. It was also invisible to avoid detection. When someone got near to the ship, a green force field would activate to ensure its safety.

The interior was green and had buttons for controls. The ship could fire rockets, as it did at the Farringham School for Boys on 11 November 1913. The ship also contained a hydrokinometer.

Whilst Jeremy Baines was searching for a stash of illicit beer hidden in Blackdown Woods, he came across the ship. When he entered, he was found by the Family in their natural forms. After he was possessed, three more humans were kidnapped by their Scarecrows and used as hosts.

When John Smith turned back into the Tenth Doctor, he went into the ship posing as his human alter ego under the guise of surrendering his chameleon arch. During the encounter, he was pushed over by Son of Mine, and stumbled backwards, hitting several controls. After the Doctor revealed himself, he showed the Family of Blood that he had hit a combination of controls that would cause the engines to explode. The Doctor and the Family quickly fled the ship as it was destroyed. (TV: Human Nature / The Family of Blood)
