00:27To be continued...
02:32Good luck, little X-Ray.
02:34I hope you make them one piece.
03:10Right, you can shut it down now, Andy.
03:17Right, you lot out.
03:18Come on, sharpish.
03:39Look at you as no fire.
03:43Hey, you're telling me?
03:47Where is everyone?
03:48You are, sir, in strike.
03:50You what?
03:51Well, the buggers had a strike meeting last night in the pitch dark so as none of us could make
03:54out the ringleaders.
03:55Strike? You mean bloody mutiny.
03:59Where is the duty group?
04:02Right.
04:04Shut up, shut up.
04:07Ah, it's been brewing for months.
04:09The irks are brass, that's something racking about them all, but now they're out.
04:12Except for the cooks.
04:13The irks don't intend to go hungry.
04:17Why didn't we get a signal saying we couldn't expect any service in here?
04:21Well, I can't see us putting out signals telling the world the RAF has mutinied, can you?
04:26They're not even man, the buggers.
04:36A bit bloody hot, isn't it?
04:46I just come in with a load of sprogs on a duff port engine.
04:55Now, suppose I'd prang it, eh?
05:00I said I'd just come in on a duff port engine.
05:05Right.
05:06On your feet.
05:12I said on your feet.
05:15We don't have both, like...
05:18Watch it!
05:21You're busting King's regulations.
05:31All right, lads.
05:33Chiefie's seen the light.
05:36Haven't you, Chiefie?
05:37Bit of temper, that's all.
05:43Oh, bloody irks.
05:45If heads don't roll off to this cock-up, I'd give them bloody strikes.
05:49They have a case, Chiefie.
05:51Not for mutiny, never for that.
05:55So much, Charles.
05:57Oh, Charlie.
06:01I'm going to take off in the morning.
06:02I need you to get some kip.
06:04Can you manage?
06:05Yeah.
06:06Go and get your head down.
06:09I'll tell you, I feel sorry for the poor sons,
06:11but compassion does have its limits.
06:13Can't blame the poor gasters.
06:15Can you imagine being stationed there?
06:17No, thanks.
06:18Won't see me on the curry run again.
06:21Germany.
06:22That's the place to be.
06:24The blokes are making a pill, Jim.
06:27On the fiddle.
06:48And tell him I'll see him tomorrow.
06:52Goodbye.
06:53Goodbye.
07:05All right, Eric?
07:07No problems?
07:07Some British field security police, that's all.
07:10They were after-war criminals.
07:12They saw my identity pass, and this, and they went away.
07:16Didn't even come inside.
07:18The price is falling.
07:19But we can't get it all over right away.
07:21Or in the next couple of weeks, that's for sure.
07:24London End doesn't have our problems.
07:26Hello, Dickie.
07:28Okay, Reggie.
07:29Old sports, old thing.
07:31WVS canteen.
07:32Usual time.
07:33Don't be late.
07:40I can't abide those Control Commission creeps.
07:44They're supposed to be looking after everybody's interest.
07:45All they do is look after their own.
07:47They're bloody spivs in red tape.
07:48Yeah, we can't run the old right, can we, Dickie?
07:50I mean, everybody's at it now.
07:52Look what we shift.
07:55Anyway, what is near?
07:56London can't wait to get hold of that lot.
07:57Well, they may have to.
07:59I know it's inconvenient, Arthur.
08:01It's these odd bits and pieces I have to fly for the RAF that take up the time.
08:07You're too conscientious, my son.
08:09But those, I've got to get over as soon as pos.
08:13Under market's dropped off.
08:14Now the irks are taking a moment of jit from the gift shops.
08:17He reckons we pay for the nose for that lot.
08:20A lycra for 20 woodbinds was never meant to last.
08:22True.
08:24There should be £6,000.
08:26And very nice, too.
08:29Reggie has it on the grapevine.
08:32The Whitehall's putting geniuses to work against us.
08:35It's getting a bit far, isn't it?
08:47No, we're not interested in irks selling naffy cigarettes for fistfuls of marks.
08:51It's costing the Cheka millions changing them back into sterling, but that's a problem for
08:56the government.
08:57No, the chappies we're interested in are involved in far more ambitious forms of crime.
09:02And they're getting free transport from the RAF.
09:05Take Dusseldorf.
09:06A Luftwaffe hangar crammed with paintings and furniture looted from France by the retreating
09:11German troops.
09:13It was collected together by a wing commander with some army chums.
09:18Outside Hanover, three pilots of fighter command were paid to smuggle sterling and dollars
09:22into Germany on a considerable scale.
09:24It was a joint operation with some American officers stationed in Frankfurt.
09:29Oh, it's messy.
09:36And unless we clear up this mess ourselves, we're going to have this damn government poking
09:40about.
09:40I want these chaps frightened, stamped on, and stopped before they do any more damage to
09:46the RAF.
09:47Now, that means it's urgent.
09:49From now on, you're all off any other cases.
09:52Tomorrow, you fly to Hanover for a briefing.
09:55Now, any questions you may have are better answered in Germany than by me.
10:00Thank you, gentlemen.
10:02You may go.
10:03Thank you, sir.
10:04Sir.
10:11May I have a word, sir?
10:15Yes, of course, Corbyn.
10:16What's the problem?
10:18I just started work on the Stalagrove Three inquiry.
10:20Yes, I know that.
10:21And this takes precedence.
10:23As far as you're concerned, yes.
10:27That's my decision.
10:28In which case, I must say that I find the decision an extraordinary one, sir.
10:33Do you?
10:33I'm sorry.
10:35We are hunting for some German bastards who shot 50 RAF officers in cold blood.
10:39Suddenly, it seems a bit of smuggling is more important.
10:43There are other officers on the Stalagrove Three inquiry, and I've taken you off it because you're the right man
10:48for this particular problem.
10:50Then I wish to register my protest, sir.
10:53Oh, it will be noted.
10:57Look, Jeff, we all know the search for these Gestapo bastards is more important than anything, but that doesn't mean
11:04that SIP can ignore everything else.
11:07These are big-time smugglers picking at the bones of Germany.
11:11Well, that doesn't do any good for any of us.
11:14Not for the RAF.
11:15Not Britain.
11:18Well, that's all.
11:38Mixture.
11:41Auto-rich set.
11:43Pitch.
11:4525.50.
11:54Pitch.
12:21Wäre das denn lieber da oben sein als hier unten, eh?
12:24Come on now. I'm not here to take you back.
12:27Zach, I could be home in Hamburg in three hours.
12:30You don't think we'll send you back in an aeroplane, do you, Johan?
12:33It would be fairly pleasant.
12:36Come on. Get on with it.
12:41Do you think they'll swallow it?
12:43Swallow what? Bad weather last time. Fuel gauge is this.
12:47Will you stop fretting? I'm not. I'm just shitting bricks.
13:00This is all yours.
13:01All right. They're sending a couple of instrument bashes.
13:04Should take them about 25 minutes.
13:09Would you believe it?
13:12Bloody things are all right again.
13:15Don't let her oil up.
13:20Okay.
13:30All right. We're away.
13:44A couple of bites a bit of please, love.
13:48Yeah. Some of my POWs thought it had come to take them to Germany.
13:51Engine trouble, I reckon.
13:54Well, what was a truck doing there, then?
13:57Truck?
13:59What truck?
14:09I don't think this one's gonna lead us anywhere, sir.
14:12Small fry. Nobody behind it.
14:14Still one less.
14:16Right. Get those two over to the guard room.
14:18Come on.
14:22That's Marlow there, sir.
14:25Hey, Dicky.
14:25Looks as if they caught some poor bugger there with an illegal box of chocolates.
14:29Oh, yes. Marlow.
14:31Another off-route landing. East Anglia.
14:36Thank you, Sergeant.
14:38What?
14:39Pardon me to Marlow.
14:41Yes?
14:43You made an unscheduled landing in the UK yesterday.
14:46Yes.
14:47At an unmanned satellite field in East Anglia.
14:49Reported by the local Bobby.
14:51Really? How splendid.
14:52You reported problems with your fuel gauges.
14:54That's right.
14:55You radiated from the mechanics, but when they arrived, you'd taken off again.
14:59Oh, she'd sorted herself out by then.
15:00Funny ladies, Dakota's. Very temperamental.
15:02Probably something I said.
15:03We had to suck. You know how it is with women.
15:05Sorry if we caused a fuss.
15:06I want an answer, Marlow. Not a lot of precious pilots' chat.
15:11You haven't asked me a question.
15:13What'd be the point?
15:15I wouldn't expect to hear the truth from you or any member of your crew.
15:23It must be very frustrating being a chocolate policeman.
15:27Why don't you do something serious with your life and go and look for a few chocolate war criminals?
15:31There must be something useful you can do.
15:39I'll have that one.
15:41I'll have him bound and gagged and served up on a plate.
16:05It's cool.
16:07It's a bloody warmer down here.
16:08You can always volunteer for the curry run again if you're missing your suntan.
16:12I don't think I'll bother.
16:14You stopped belly aching. Where are the lads?
16:17Following the smell of the bacon and the eggs, I should imagine.
16:20Oi! Oi!
16:23Give us a lift back, will you?
16:25OK, hop in.
16:26Great.
16:28Right, lads. Papers.
16:32Flight Sergeant Barnes.
16:37Tiny Ruskin.
16:38Looking for a job in WH Smith, are you?
16:40How are you, Tiny?
16:42Hello, Phil.
16:43Andy Gray.
16:44Andy.
16:45Phil Barnes.
16:45Who?
16:46What are you doing here?
16:48I thought we'd take a quick shifty at the cushy number of brigade.
16:51Well, posted here or what?
16:52Oh, easy-weezy lucky nose.
16:53Just a one-off trip.
16:54Spitting mozzy spares.
16:55Well, that's all.
16:57We're novices, mate.
16:58Mugs on the Aldergrove run with nothing but legit load.
17:00Yeah, yeah.
17:01Come on, let's have some corn plates and fill us in on the gold rush.
17:04Good idea.
17:12All about the United Nations.
17:15Not a word about slowness of demob.
17:18One can sympathize with the poor irks down the gulf at the Corrient.
17:22Yes, but a lot of us voted the way we did last year,
17:24because they were saying Churchill would be reluctant to demob us.
17:27Well, the way the Russians are sulking around this blighted land,
17:30actually might be excused for not exactly rushing things.
17:33How are you, Trav?
17:34I get my name down for one of those long weekend skiing pups.
17:36Hey, survival training skipper.
17:38That's it, mountain air.
17:39Nothing like you to clear the brain.
17:40Why do you know this?
17:41Morning, sir.
17:42Good morning, gentlemen.
17:43Carry on, please.
17:47You know, there's altogether too much binding about demob.
17:51They'll be cheering to get back in again when they feel the pinch back home.
17:56Yeah.
18:01Look, don't blame me if this country is one of the bloody great black marbles.
18:07Thanks, sir.
18:09I mean, it's part of the Jerry's penance.
18:11Look, you jack on fire, Chris.
18:13Anybody who's not looking after number one at the moment must be a bit sort of...
18:15You know what I mean?
18:16Hey!
18:17The bloody war's over, so it's all change and fend for number one.
18:21Well, they criticize him.
18:23I'm in the mob group 38.
18:25That's a few months off,
18:26and I don't need to spend them pissing about over the peat logs.
18:28What? You can't fix it.
18:30Why don't you have a chunter with my skipper, then?
18:32You and him were once on the same squadron.
18:35Dicky Marlowe.
18:37He's a great fixer.
18:38You still with him, then?
18:39Yeah.
18:40Hey, Fraulein.
18:42May a coffee bidder.
18:45Danker.
18:47So tell me, Tiny.
18:49What did you bring in?
18:50Well, I told you, spares.
18:51What, no, sirly?
18:54Like you said, we're off hers.
18:58We stuck a bit of coffee and a few fags aboard,
19:01in case a few rollies and lycas included huge magpies,
19:04but we're not sure where the market is.
19:07I don't know.
19:09I don't know.
19:11I don't know.
19:11Be careful.
19:12Things are getting a bit tight.
19:16I was in Berlin last week.
19:18Oh, what do you mean?
19:18Er, Dicky.
19:19Catch up here later, Phil.
19:20Lights out in Ruskin.
19:21God, I don't believe it.
19:24No, no, no, no.
19:24I'll tell you, it was, um...
19:26It was Bryce Norton 44.
19:28Well, well, hello, flight.
19:30Were you still not a warrant officer?
19:32Oh, well, they dropped a clangor or two.
19:34Yeah, haven't we all?
19:35So you posted here?
19:36No such luck.
19:37Just come off the India run.
19:38Oh, that's no joke, I gather.
19:41So what do you want now?
19:43That's what I'd like to talk to you about.
19:45I'll tell you what, why don't we have some lunch?
19:46I've got my own billet in the town.
19:48We can break open some hard tack and have a chat.
19:50It's 17 Halle-Strasse, apartment two.
19:52Halle-Strasse.
19:52No, no.
19:54Halle-Strasse.
19:55I'll be there.
19:56Dinner.
19:59Halle-Strasse?
20:00Oh, lunch with Dicky, is it?
20:04Report by Scotland leader Birkin working with the Yanks.
20:07Sir?
20:08They have reason to believe that a collection of miscellaneous
20:11but valuable antiques, mainly furniture,
20:15accumulated by some American heroes
20:17and which suddenly vanished when they got the dogs out,
20:20may have found its way into this zone.
20:24They would like us to keep our eyes open.
20:26Yes, that's all very well, but they could be anywhere, sir.
20:29Indeed.
20:35Thank you, Eric.
20:37Some nice pieces.
20:38Yeah, yeah.
20:40I bought this mantel clock from some G.I.s who thought it was stretch.
20:45It's goatly.
20:46Beautiful ampere.
20:48Oh, well, you know the good pieces.
20:51Yeah.
20:52It's Amulant.
20:54Louis Kinsa.
20:56It's in the style of Gaudreau.
21:18I might have known.
21:24Who was here before?
21:25Goering?
21:26Oh, Herman wouldn't have had the taste, Jack.
21:28You know me.
21:30Never did like camp quarters.
21:33It's a sort of halfway house between here and Silly Street.
21:36A halfway bloody palace.
21:39You rent this furnish must cost a bomb.
21:43The contents are mine.
21:46I'm not cut out for austerity.
21:49I took one look at Stafford Cripps and wondered where all the fun went.
21:52I'm quite happy here.
21:54Along the ruins we knocked about a bit.
21:55Yeah.
22:02Couldn't fix me a post in here, could you?
22:04What is it, you mob group?
22:0638.
22:07Oh, yes.
22:08That makes it about May or June.
22:11That's right.
22:12Unless the Ruskies turn really nasty and the whole thing gets stopped.
22:14Do you know the buggers won't even look at us in the streets now?
22:16Well, if there's another bloody war they can fight without me,
22:20you lot can do it.
22:21But I wouldn't mind trundling a few cameras.
22:24It's better than miscellaneous spare parts to Ireland.
22:27At least the only thing you get in Northern Ireland is wet.
22:30Well, I'd rather get richer here.
22:33Yes, Gerhard.
22:34We are ready now, Herr Squadron Leader.
22:37Thank you very much.
22:38Give us a couple of minutes, will you?
22:42Well, you are on about something a touch more serious
22:45than a few pounds of coffee or packets of wood behind us, hmm?
22:50Only half the air crews are bringing odd bits in.
22:54And the leave boats from Harwich are sinking under the weight of coffee and chocolates
23:01the irks are stuffing in their kin.
23:06It's more serious than that, sir.
23:07Oh?
23:09Twice in the last three weeks, Squadron Leader Marlow has flown to UK
23:12and diverted to unmanned satellite stations with no customs and excise cover.
23:17The first time he claimed problems with his VHF and bad weather.
23:22This time he claims his fuel gauges went US.
23:25Well, maybe they did. Has that occurred to you?
23:29You know, one of your problems is that you were never air crew.
23:33There's something else, sir.
23:36It would appear that Squadron Leader Marlow
23:38is living in a style more appropriate to Iber Novello than to an officer of his rank.
23:43Yes, well, his father's a man of substance. You must have heard that.
23:48I have heard it, sir.
23:50And if his father's supporting him,
23:52wouldn't that mean that Marlow is flying Stirling out of the UK illicitly?
23:55Look, that restriction was probably...
23:58Squadron Leader Marlow's father, sir.
23:59What about?
24:00Is actually a bank manager at some small branch in Surrey.
24:04Well, explain. They don't have captions.
24:08That is where the Squadron Leader is living.
24:13Would you place pictures?
24:15I'd rather not say so.
24:16If I ever find out who he is, I'll have him for breakfast.
24:23Sir.
24:23That's all.
24:39That's all.
24:43Yes, Trevor.
24:45We'll have a look at their signals now.
24:49Yes, sir.
24:51Quite a few postings to the India Run, sir.
24:59See if you can find Dicky Marlow.
25:02I'd like to give him the bad news personally.
25:06Yes.
25:11Well, have you thought about what you're going to do with yourself
25:13when they finally dump you in Sibby Street?
25:18Hello.
25:24For four and a half years, all I thought about was getting through this lot.
25:28But now?
25:29Have you had a word with those BOAC bods with a record like yours?
25:32They should snap you up.
25:34Is that what you're going to do?
25:35Oh, I don't know.
25:37I haven't thought about it.
25:38I tell you this, if I stay in flying, it'll be for myself.
25:41Grab a couple of old transports and just trundle about here and there,
25:44wherever the fancy takes me.
25:45I knew government had never let you do that.
25:48Well, I can see how they could stop me.
25:50To you, Jack.
25:52To my posting here.
26:03Thanks for my dinner.
26:05Pleasure.
26:06Well, the chance is it?
26:07Bill's due out soon, see release.
26:10Leave you all in your crew.
26:12It could work out quite nicely.
26:13I'll see what I can do, Jack.
26:23We'll miss you here, Dickie.
26:25But Air Ministry has the wind up about the state of discipline in India.
26:30And one has a sneaking concern for those ORs out there.
26:33They've had a raw deal.
26:35And you have the consolation of knowing you'll be getting some of the poor sods home.
26:39Indeed, sir.
26:39You'll be rostered for a couple more, Ops.
26:41You can return before your leaders.
26:44And we'll make amends with an appropriate farewell bash then.
26:48Thanks, sir.
26:49Thank you, sir.
27:04Well, if I might have a word.
27:05Yes, come on.
27:06Spot a bother, Dickie, old son.
27:08Yes?
27:09I assume you've noticed the SIB blokes asking a lot of questions about you.
27:13They're asking a lot of questions about everybody, Arthur.
27:16Not like they're asking them about you.
27:18You made a bit of a mistake the other day, my son.
27:21Needling Colville like that.
27:23He's taken a very special interest in you and that could lead to me.
27:26See, you're not flying anything out of here for a bit, all right?
27:30Oh, come on, Arthur.
27:32I've always got everything through before.
27:35Don't give me that pickles bit, Dickie.
27:39It's my neck I'm worried about.
27:41So you stay clean for the next week.
27:44If you say so.
27:46The only thing is, there's a special load need to get in our urgent.
27:50Very small.
27:51Very valuable.
27:53Important customer weight.
27:55Be easy enough?
27:55No, don't you, Dickie.
27:57You stay clean.
27:59And no little jobs of your own.
28:01All I want from you is a name.
28:07Flight Sergeant Ruskin.
28:10Aye.
28:16Got a box for you, Flight.
28:18Medical supplies.
28:21I'm not carrying medical supplies.
28:23Dickie Marlow's compliments.
28:25Thought you might like to do them a little favor.
28:27It's a touch urgent.
28:29Oh, here's a course.
28:31Nice.
28:32Right.
28:34Yeah, were you gonna put them on board or wait and have them checked over by the SIPs?
28:41Of course.
28:45Erm, what happens at the other end?
28:48Ah, well, they'll be taken care of.
28:50I suppose.
28:58I suppose.
28:58Morning, ladies.
29:01Can I see the crew manifest for today, please, corporal?
29:10Well, Sergeant.
29:11What do you think?
29:14Perhaps we can do a random check, sir?
29:17Yes.
29:18Let's see if we can find some old tables and chairs, shall we?
29:21Sir.
29:25Hello, Chief, please. I'll have to check your kit.
29:27Yes, sir.
29:28And I'm afraid, gentlemen, there will have to be a personal body search.
29:33Ooh.
29:35Bit tater's out here for that, old son.
29:37Tell you what.
29:38Give us a clue what you're looking for.
29:41And perhaps we can all help you find it.
29:44Well?
29:46Sit yourself.
29:48OK, lads.
30:18Lads.
30:19Set.
30:21Check's complete.
30:23Right.
30:27OK, green light.
30:30Follow me through, Andy.
30:50I think I'm bored.
31:02So when's the court-martial, Sherlock?
31:05All this for two bloody lycas and a piggy bank?
31:10Just a minute.
31:12You and your crowbar gang have made this into an unsafe load.
31:17And I'm not going to fly it.
31:20Until you've made it safe again.
31:23Cup of tea, Taps?
31:24Outside rescue.
31:34Goodbye, Germany.
31:36Think we missed out there, Tiny?
31:38Maybe.
31:40Word is he's in deep.
31:43Who?
31:44Dickie Marlowe.
31:45Oh, uh.
31:47Is that what you want, Tiny?
31:49I know what I don't want.
31:51That's to end up back on a lathe, turning out bloody nuts and bolts.
31:55I want to come out of this lot with a bit more.
31:58Well, anyway.
31:59Seven days' leave.
32:00Bloody marbles.
32:02You go out the garden and see your girlfriend?
32:04Mind your own business.
32:07No.
32:23Please.
32:23PHONE RINGS
32:25Oh.
32:26What?
32:26Oh.
32:34Oh.
32:35Oh.
32:35Oh.
33:02Oh, yeah, fair enough.
33:05I'll get it.
33:19Got it well organized, hasn't he?
33:21Well, it's not the sort of stuff one would like to fall into anyone's hands, is it?
33:24No, no, it isn't.
33:26Thank you, help, old boy.
33:28All the best, Stu.
33:40Have you got the beers in yet?
33:42You're going to need one.
33:44What's that?
33:45We have our leave, then it's back to bloody India.
33:50Not me.
33:51You'll be doing it with a new Skippy.
33:53You'll be doing it with a new Skippy.
34:10So, what brings you to this palace of intrigue, Bicky?
34:14I see you've been posted to the curry run.
34:17Yes, sir.
34:20You don't like the best thing.
34:23Couldn't stand the flies.
34:26No other reason?
34:28Compassionate, that sort of thing?
34:29My grounds are purely selfish, sir.
34:32Cheers, Dickie.
34:33Cheers.
34:37I wouldn't say no to Germany myself, from all I hear.
34:41I remember when I left the squadron and came here to fly an air ministry desk,
34:46telling you to look me up if ever you needed help.
34:48I'd not have reminded you, sir.
34:50I'm sure you wouldn't.
34:52Well, I don't suppose that the repatriation of Mount Vatten's forces in Southeast Asia
34:58will suffer irretrievably if you remain in Germany,
35:02which is what I assume you prefer.
35:10Machine are coming.
35:11Aus England.
35:17Hand, get her!
35:19Come somebody!
35:21What is this?
35:22There's no!
35:29Home again?
35:35Yes!
35:36It's Jack Ruskin here.
35:37I'm calling from England.
35:39Jack!
35:39Yes!
35:40Hello, Jack!
35:41The thing is, I'm being posted back on the bloody curry run.
35:45Erm, don't worry, Jack.
35:46I'm doing my best.
35:47I'll be in touch.
35:49Hang on.
35:50I can't stop now.
35:52Bye.
35:54Well, Mr Fixit, you've done it again.
35:58We should have been up to your ears in elephants by now.
36:01Could still happen, Arthur.
36:02Post-indie fur.
36:03I doubt it.
36:04Alice and Dickie,
36:06we've got a problem.
36:07And this time it's a big one.
36:09The SIB are getting very close to me.
36:12If I don't get that warehouse cleared out,
36:13the buggers will be doing it for me.
36:15Who's going to fly it for you, Arthur?
36:17Jolly Jack Ruskin!
36:20He did very well with that load of jewellery.
36:23Rettin' he's got a bottle for something bigger?
36:26I'm sure he has,
36:27but I think your grapevine has let you down, Arthur.
36:31He's back on the curry run.
36:33It's got to be you, then.
36:36I thought you said I was too hot.
36:42How hot do you think it is for me, my son?
36:44My bloody arse is burning.
36:46Arthur, I do believe you're getting excited.
36:50It's you, Dickie.
36:51And it's tomorrow.
36:53All right.
36:54But you're going to be a bit pushed
36:56getting all that stuff crated up
36:57and into the base by tomorrow morning.
37:01That's my problem.
37:03Yours is Colville.
37:06Well, Arthur, it looks as though one of us
37:07is going to have to take a chance.
37:10Who's he going to be?
37:11You.
37:36You're home again.
37:44Corporal!
37:49Morning, Jim.
37:49Everything okay?
37:50Yes, sir.
37:51Some extras arrived at the last minute.
37:52But we managed to squeeze them in.
37:53Authorized?
37:54Oh, yeah.
37:55They're all signed for.
37:55Who by?
37:56Well, I'm not sure.
37:57They're from outside.
37:58Do you want me to check?
37:59They went through our bay, all right?
38:00No, no.
38:00Just make sure it's all written down properly.
38:02Always do, Sergeant.
38:05It's only lucky
38:06where they're over home waters.
38:07Dickie!
38:09Sir!
38:11Hello, Biffo.
38:14Hi, Bill.
38:15Have you got a minute, sir?
38:16Yes, of course.
38:17I'll catch up with you, Phil.
38:18Yeah, okay.
38:18Well, I thought you'd be lying about somewhere
38:20getting yourself a suntan.
38:21Well, I've got seven days leave,
38:22so I just arrived from the UK to see you.
38:24You could have saved yourself the trouble.
38:25We're just off there now.
38:26Come on.
38:26I was just in time, then.
38:31So, what's happening?
38:32What?
38:32What about my future?
38:33Am I joining you?
38:34Uh, well, I'm going to see what I can do.
38:36Huh?
38:37Well, I know you said you couldn't make any promises,
38:39but somehow I expected you to...
38:41At least you got things started.
38:43Well, give us a chance, old son.
38:44I'm doing my best.
38:46I don't think you are.
38:48I don't think you give a booger about anyone
38:50except yourself.
38:52Why don't you just come straight out with it
38:54and tell me to get stuffed?
38:55Then at least I know where I stand.
38:58The temptation is almost irresistible.
39:00Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a plane to fly.
39:02I have a plane to fly.
39:03Oh, yes, you have.
39:04Who the hell do you think you're talking to?
39:06You want to get it straight?
39:07Well, let's get it straight.
39:08I am not your fairy godmother.
39:09I don't have a magic wand.
39:10Neither am I your bloody nursemaid,
39:12and the world does not revolve around you.
39:15That's all I need to know.
39:16I've said it before, and I will say it again for the last time.
39:18I am doing my best.
39:20Now, if you think you could improve on that,
39:21I'll give you a lift back to the UK now,
39:23and you can sort it out yourself.
39:24Just a few bloody lifts.
39:27Sir.
39:35Well, there's only one way to find out, sir.
39:37Yes, I'm well aware of that, Sergeant.
39:38But I've been embarrassingly wrong already,
39:40and I can't afford to be wrong again.
39:42Otherwise, someone will start screaming victimisation,
39:44and I'll end up guarding Petra in Vembecula.
39:48Perhaps that's what Marlow's counting on, sir.
39:52You may be right, Sergeant.
39:53You may be right, Sergeant.
40:03I wish I'm bloody new.
40:17Big load, Skip.
40:18Happy landings.
40:19Yeah, thanks, mate.
40:21Thanks a lot.
40:26Hey, Dickie, the corporal said the SIB
40:27were showing an interest in this lot.
40:29I'm not going to imagine.
40:33Why is all the big stuff at the back?
40:34Well, apparently it arrived last.
40:36That shoved the other gear forward to make room for it.
40:44Problems?
40:46Well, it's not very tidy, is it?
40:48Well, if these crates are as heavy as they look,
40:50we'll never get off the ground.
40:55It could be right, Phil.
40:58Get the loaders back.
40:59Let's have it shifted.
40:59What do you mean?
41:00It's dangerous?
41:01The bastards will have someone for this.
41:03They don't give a bugger.
41:04They've no right loading aircraft in a dangerous manner.
41:06Phil, give it a miss.
41:07We don't want any excitement.
41:08Just get it shifted.
41:08Well, that's beside a point, Skipper.
41:10I mean, if they can't even get an aircraft loaded...
41:12Phil!
41:13Yeah, but I said.
41:14Now do it.
41:15Do it before I lose my temper.
41:17Yeah, all right.
41:18If you say so, Skipper.
41:19If you say so.
41:20I mean, if you say so.
41:22I still think someone wouldn't get a rocket with it.
41:24That's it!
41:25Come on.
41:26Come back.
41:27Come inside.
41:28No, you just told me I'll get a loader.
41:29Inside!
41:43Well, what's the problem?
41:53Christ!
41:56There's stuff here, Dickie.
41:57What is it?
41:59It's about ten years in the glass house.
42:04Are we going to have a go, sir?
42:06We, Sergeant.
42:07It'd be my head on a plate, not yours.
42:10Yes, sir.
42:11I didn't want this job.
42:14I don't like this job, and I don't like being made a fool of.
42:18Most of all, I don't like the cocky bastard in that plane.
42:25Nothing seems to be happening, sir.
42:30There's still time.
42:40He's provoking me.
42:42He wants me to step inside that plane.
42:46Hey, they're coming over.
42:49Now, let's get the hell out of it.
42:51Do the checks, Phil.
42:51We can't.
42:52You said yourself, she's dangerously loaded.
42:53We'll never get off a ground.
42:54You said that, not me.
42:56Come on, Phil.
42:56We've done it before.
42:57We'll do it again.
42:59Well, what are you fancy?
43:00Ten years in the nick for a sporting chance.
43:03Come on, let's go!
43:09You all right?
43:12I'll do the checks.
43:34Come on, Phil.
43:35You'll be arrested for loitering.
43:43Coming aboard, gentlemen?
43:45Anything we can show you?
43:47That's just what you want me to think, isn't it?
43:50Perhaps another time, old boy.
43:53Suit yourself.
43:55I'll be waiting.
44:09I'll be waiting.
44:09Yeah.
44:12All right?
44:13You must be joking.
44:15Let's go.
44:19Jesus.
44:22That load.
44:40I'll be waiting.
45:02Welcome!
45:04Yeah, welcome!
45:15Great!
45:15I thought we were going by road for a minute.
45:19Undercarter!
45:21Up!
45:25Whoa, budge!
45:26Shit!
45:27I left the pins in!
45:31Flux!
45:32Down!
45:57I left you!
45:59I left you!
46:00I left you!
46:01I left you!
46:02I left you!
46:02I left you!
46:07Hans!
46:08Where are you?
46:23No!
46:24No!
46:26Carson!
46:31Run!
46:34Ah!
46:36Ahh!
46:36Ugh!
46:38Ugh!
47:09Fire!
47:33BOAC, Ruskin.
47:35What's the best way to stay in plan?
47:38They do have the cream of the raft to go for, you know.
47:42Offices, you mean?
47:43I didn't say that flight, did I?
47:44No.
47:46But you implied it.
47:48I doubt whether BOAC would be interested in pilots with chips on their shoulders.
47:54And I see you're a qualified flight engineer,
47:57and before you joined you were in the aircraft industry.
48:00Right.
48:02Well, you could return to it.
48:04Or to ground crew with BOAC, one supposes.
48:06I mean, qualified artisans are in demand on the Civi Street.
48:10Qualified artisans?
48:11Yes.
48:12I don't want to be a qualified artisan.
48:14I just want to stay flying.
48:15It is possible.
48:18Yes.
48:22Thank you, Baxter.
48:29It's possible...
48:32It's possible that the RAF will be presently asking certain pilots, especially those in transport command, to consider staying on
48:42a bit.
48:43Well, I'm not staying in this lot.
48:45This lot?
48:47Well, this lot.
48:50Well, airline pilots have to be very, very balanced, Ruskin.
48:54Very stable.
48:58Who do you want to be when you grow up, sir?
49:02Oh, go on. I'm interested.
49:05That'll be all baked, Sergeant.
49:14Has discipline gone out of fashion?
49:27The war is over, sir.
49:28Mm-hmm, sir!
