Output (English): In 1940, a replacement, Pilot Officer T. B. Septic Baird John Gregson, is landing his Hawker Hurricane at Pimpernel Squadrons airfield. Just as he touches down, however, a straggler from an earlier mission taxis across his path. Septics quick reactions allow him to leapfrog the other Hurricane, averting a costly disaster. His action, however, causes him to crash his replacement aircraft into the bungalow of Squadron Leader Barry Clinton Cyril Raymond at the end of the runway. This earns Septic the wrath of his new squadron leader, Bill Ponsford Andrew Osborn, because he damaged his fighter aircraft. The crash also injures the ligaments in Septics neck, which he is able to selfdiagnose, as he had been a medical student before the war. The next morning, Septic is told by Group Captain Tiger Small Jack Hawkins that he will not be able to fly until his neck is healed, so he will instead serve in the operations room for the time being. Several days later, with the risk of a bombing attack on the airfield, and all of Pimpernel Squadrons Hurricanes scrambled, Tiger orders all aircraft to takeoff and fly out of harms way until the raid is over. With Tiger quickly assembling all available pilots and finding aircraft to fly, Septic wins a foot race with Small to claim the last spare Hurricane for himself. He then proceeds to shoot down a Messerschmitt Bf 110 from the attacking force. His delight is short lived however when he is admonished by Small and Sqn Ldr Peter Moon Michael Denison for leaving his radio set to transmit, preventing the returning Hurricanes from being diverted to an undamaged airfield. A crestfallen Septic returns to his ground duties. Eventually a reinstated Septic joins in Pimpernels operations, but he is mortally wounded while shooting down another enemy aircraft. His last words are heard over the Sector control room tannoy publicaddress system, when he tells Small that their planned return foot race will have to be postponed indefinitely. Small replies Your message received and understood. Out. The final shot is of Squadron Leader Clintons wife Nadine hanging an oil lamp in the ruins of their bungalow to aid returning pilots.
