Buy me a bow-wow, bow-wow
I've got a little cat and I'm very fond of that
But I'd rather have a bow-wow-wow-wow-wow
Well?? Do you like it??
What??
The parting, you clot?
What's the matter with it??
Well, it's on the other side?
Why??
I don't know? Thought it gave me sort of an intellectual look?
It conceals the incipient baldness?
I thought Sue was on leave?
No, she's due back this evening?
Hello? What's the matter with you??
You look as though you've been jumped on
by 20-plus Focke wolfes?
I tried to pull out of a flat-out dive just now?
Ah, good show?
The damn stick needed carnere to move it?
The harder I pulled, the more the nose went down?
It felt for a moment as if the controls were reversed?
And were they??
Of course not, you clot? Otherwise I wouldn't be here, would l??
There was a lot of buffeting, too?
It was almost as if l'd suddenly run into a???
a solid sheet of water or something?
Really??
Why don't you marry her??
You know, all prospective father-in-laws are a bit frightened?
After all, mine was?
Yours wasn't the great John Ridgefield?
What?? Just because he makes a few aeroplanes??
A few aeroplanes??
He owns 1 00 ruddy acres of factory
And he's a millionaire twice over,
And Sue is his only daughter?
Anyway, heiress or not, I'm meeting her train?
I shall take her for a quiet little drive
And ask her to marry me simply, firmly, and directly?
What's the matter??
Oh, I don't know? I just thought it was a good place
To stop for a breather?
Oh, how nice?
Sue, what do you think of me??
As a driver??
Uh, no? As a man?
Oh, well, I told you?
I think I prefer you with your hair parted on the other side?
Sue, l???
Yes??
Sue?
Yes, Tony?
And back to their billets they crawl
You'll get no promotion this side of the ocean
So cheer up, my lads bless 'em all
Bless 'em all, bless 'em all
Tony, I've got my answer ready?
In fact, I've had it ready for an awful long time?
Oh, gosh?
Is that all you can say, Tony?? Just "oh, gosh"??
You really have looked at this from every angle??
I haven't left an angle out, I promise you?
I mean, you know the sort of chap I am?
I know the sort of chap you are?
Not on your level at all?
Miles above?
Oh, gosh?
Please, Tony? Stop saying, "oh, gosh?"
Can't you think of anything else to say??
I love you so very much?
I shan't be a tick?
I think it's time this came off?
Give it to me? I'll keep it as a souvenir?
Mrs? Garthwaite?
Mrs? Garthwaite?
Mrs? Garthwaite?? Mrs? Garthwaite?
I suppose I say it often enough, I shall get used to it?
Hello, Eddie?
Tony, you old basket!
Got anything going to Ridgefield's??
Sure, we're bound to have?
Good?
Why Ridgefield's, though??
Because I went and married a Ridgefield?
You don't say!
On my way now to get the once-over from her old man?
Well, I'll have to treat you with respect from now on?
Oh, congratulations?
- Thanks? - You're welcome?
There's an Anson here? Takeoff 14:?30?
Fine?
Sign here?
There you are, darling? Ridgefield's?
And that's all your father's??
We're landing?
Hi! Susie!
Hi!
Your father??
No? Will Sparks, our chief designer?
Oh, Will!
I saw you from the office window?
Susie, darling!
How are you??
Very well, thank you, Will?
What have you done to yourself?? You're thinner?
I've gone on the wagon?
Will, why??
Well, with all these Americans about these days,
you just can't get it, and I hate beer?
Though I'll be off it tonight in your honor?
So this is the gent?
This is the gent?
How are you?? I've heard a lot about you?
I've heard a lot about you?
I'm glad you had the sense to pick a flyer?
For a moment, I thought you were my father-in-law?
Well, glad to meet you and welcome to Ridgefield's?
Thank you?
Oh, your dad's at a board meeting?
I was asked to tell you he won't see you before dinner?
Are you coming to dinner??
No? I haven't been asked?
Why, I suppose he wants to keep it family?
But you are family, Will?
'Course, I am coming to the do tonight?
Oh, dear, is there a do??
Slap up? Champagne, the whole board of directors?
How are you, Mason??
Very well, thank you, Miss Susan?
I'll come as far as the office block with you?
I wish I worked union hours?
How many people have you got working here??
- 1 2,000? - 12,000??
Yes, we've got another 8,000 over at Hillbank?
What's that??
Top secret?
Those are test beds, aren't they??
Is this top secret going to win the war, Will??
A good deal more than win the war, if you ask me?
Hello, Factor? How are you??
Very well, thank you, madam?
This is my husband?
- Hello? - Welcome, sir?
He called me madam?
I realize now I've been miss for far too long?
I simply love being madam?
However hideous your threshold, you know what my duty is??
- No, what?? - I'll show you?
Oh, Tony, no!
Hang on to your hat?
You are quite a job?
Tony!
Tony, you'll drop me? You're not strong enough?
Not strong enough??
No, you're not?
Which way??
Oh, this way, sir?
All right? Here we go?
This way?
Take my cap off?
This way, sir?
Blimey!
Put me down?
Chris!
How are you, darling??
Hello, Sue?
Meet your new brother-in-law?
- How do you do?? - How do you do??
I've heard a lot about you?
I suppose it's too late to say congratulations?
Not at all?
Congratulations?
Chris, what is that??
You ought to know, Sue? It's the R?A? F? Badge?
You get it after you pass the interview?
No, I had no idea? I thought you were going into the Navy?
I changed my mind? Did you get my present??
Oh, darling, thank you so much?
It was a lovely present? We adored it, didn't we??
Oh, yes? Rather? We adored it?
Good? Let's have a drink?
What was it??
Paperweight?
Oh? When are you going in??
About 6 months, I think?
In the meanwhile, I'm learning to fly?
Dad's put one of his ex-pilots on to teaching me over at Hillbank?
Tiger Moth?
Darling, how exciting?
Have you gone solo yet??
Not yet? I think I may tomorrow?
Whiskey??
No, thank you, darling?
Not for me, thanks? It's too early?
Since when, may I ask, have you taken to swigging whiskey??
I'm not at school now, Sue? I'm in the R?A? F?
Well, practically anyway?
- Cheers? - Cheers?
Incidentally, good luck tomorrow?
Thank you?
How many hours dual have you done??
Rather a lot? 14?
Oh, that's not too bad?
I remember a fellow once who did 20 before they passed him?
I don't suppose his name was Ridgefield, though?
How many hours dual did you do before you went solo??
Tony's an exceptional case,
One of the great geniuses of the air?
Like Dad?
He went solo after only 2?5 hours dual?
Really??
Shall I tell you something rather shocking??
I get airsick?
Oh, you don't want to worry about airsickness?
You'll soon get over that?
- Yes?? - Yes?
What the heck is that??
Dressing gong?
Chris, give me a quarter of an hour for my bath,
And then come up and talk to me, will you??
I won't be a second?
Approve??
Oh, terrific?
He's just been telling me about that do on the Gestapo prison?
You must have used a thumbscrew to get that out of him?
I had to, practically?
It was a wonderful thing, Sue? They had to come in at 50 feet
And fly slap down the main street?
But of course, you know it all?
I'll be able to shoot a line about my new brother-in-law now?
It looks as if I'll need one?
You're a bit unhappy about it all, aren't you, darling??
Oh, no?
Not really?
Why don't you reapply for a ground job??
What do you think Dad would say if I did that??
Does it matter??
You know it does?
Anyway, I don't want to let him down, Sue?
Heaven knows I don't?
Chris?
Would you let me talk to him??
No? Thanks awfully, Sue?
If anyone's got to talk to him, I've got to?
As a matter of fact, I half-thought I might tackle him about it tonight,
Not about a ground job-- I mean R?A? F? Ground job--
But well, commandos or something?
Commandos??
I've jolly well got to show him it isn't a matter of guts?
Look, you're either born to fly or you're not?
I'm not? I'm really not?
Darling, you go downstairs and give yourself another whiskey
And then take him aside and tell him exactly how you feel?
It's going to be jolly difficult?
Well, I'll be there behind you?
Darling, I'd almost forgotten?
Come on, you two?
Here's to you both?
- To us? - To us?
You can tell them that from me?
Father?
I don't like it, J?R?
We may find we are putting ourselves in such a position
that the ministry may never agree to it at all?
If they won't, there's a simple answer?
We stop production on the 696 altogether?
Nervous??
Nervous?? I'm scared stiff?
??? nor the day after? I haven't a second? Good night?
Hello, Father?
Hello, Susan?
This is Tony?
So, this is Tony?
The D? F.C? and bar I know about? What's the A? F.C? for??
Oh, just some bumbling around?
Well, they don't usually give that for bumbling around?
Well, I'm very glad to meet you at last, Tony?
I must say I'm surprised at Susan falling for a flyer?
And Christopher, lad, I've just had Fletcher on the phone?
He says he hopes you may go solo tomorrow?
Yes, Dad, I know?
Well done?
Who knows?? They make a pilot of you yet?
What time is it to be??
At 1 0:?30, Dad?
Hmm? Well, let's go in?
You sit here, will you, Tony??
Place of honor?
Quite a room, eh??
Yes, quite a room?
I hope you like the pictures?
There's some of them quite well known?
Of course, Susan hates them all? I know that?
I sent her to Oxford to get an education?
All she comes back with is a passion for donkey-tailed dogs
and modernistic music?
Where she gets her taste from I don't know?
Certainly not from me or her mother?
Mother liked modern music very much?
First I've heard of it? If she did, she didn't let on to me?
No?
This is lobster dominique, a sort of specialitรฉ de la maison?
No, not for Mr? Christopher? He's flying tomorrow?
Fletcher says young Jackson's gone solo after 6 hours?
Yes, he's rather good?
Is this fellow running a sort of flying kindergarten or something over there, sir??
Oh, just the 2 boys?
Jackson, that's my head of airframes?
His son's waiting to go into the R?A? F?, too?
So I let Fletcher take him on as well?
Won't do them any harm to get a start, eh, Tony??
No, you'll probably shatter your R?A? F? Instructor
by going solo in about 20 minutes?
That's right? Something like that won't look so bad on the record?
14 hours wouldn't have been so good?
That's the same noise we heard this afternoon?
It comes from the test beds, doesn't it??
Yes? I heard you were asking questions?
Well, I'll tell you what?
I'm giving this party down at the works?
And on our way--well, you're a member of the family now?
I don't suppose it will do any harm
for you to have a look at our little secret?
I think it's the most exciting sound I've ever heard?
Well, it isn't only the sound that's exciting,
Tony, boy?
Evening, Joe?
Good evening, J? R?
How's the missus??
She's all right? That stuffs done her good?
Good evening, Mike?
Good evening, J?R?
Put up the lights?
What the heck is it, sir??
It's the aircraft engine of the future?
But where's the propeller??
There is no propeller?
How does it keep the aircraft in the air, then??
By propulsion?
Propulsion??
Yes? Jet propulsion?
Come on, I'll show you?
You two had better stay there?
By the way, don't call me sir?
What do I call you??
Susan calls me father? Chris calls me Dad?
You can take your choice?
Now, this is something quite extraordinary?
Like all great inventions, from the wheel to radar,
Perfectly simple?
Yes, you can smile? I know it looks complicated,
But the beauty is how little there is to it and how much power comes out of it?
Now, there's a fan here in the front which draws in air?
The air's heated here with paraffin?
Paraffin??
Ordinary paraffin?
The hot air blows out here at the end?
Well, it comes out at such terrific force
That that alone drives the aircraft?
Who invented it?? One of your men??
No, chap called Whittle?
Whittle?? Englishman??
Yes, we're not the only firm working on them?
Dehavilland and rolls are ahead of us?
Excuse me?
Well, Susie, how do you like our new toy??
Well, what did you think of it, Chris, lad??
Wizard, wasn't it??
Wizard, Dad?
Come on, we'll be late for the party?
Come on now?
Go on?
Good night, Joe?
Good night, J? R?
I'm getting out now? You ready for the joyride??
Yes?
Sure you wouldn't like to have another circuit with me??
No, thanks?
You'd rather not have me bawling in your ear, I suppose?
Are we in time, Chris??
Bang on? Thanks for coming?
Is that your rival??
Yes?
Good approach?
- Good morning, Fletcher? - Morning?
Come and have some food with us afterwards?
Thanks? I'd love to?
All set??
There's nothing to it?
All the best, darling?
By the way, Ridgefield,
For once you can make any sort of landing you like?
I'm gonna have a drink? Only try to get her down in one piece?
There's a good chap?
A very bad turn?
Mmm, better?
Hasn't he learned anything at all??
He'll be all right? He'll be all right?
You can't get hurt in those things?
Sue! Sue! Stay here!
Yes, quickly!
What about that??
Why, it's fantastic?
This the future 901??
That's it?
What's her landing speed??
Well, it's high at the moment, but we're working on that?
Well, I have to go down to the works at once?
I shan't be back before your train goes,
So I'll say good-bye now?
Good-bye, Tony? It's nice to have you in the family,
especially now?
Thanks? Nice being in the family?
Come see me again soon?
I will? You know how I feel about this awful business?
Mmm? I had Fletcher on the phone today?
He says it need never have caught fire at all
if he hadn't forgotten to switch off?
Heaven knows he had plenty of time?
Yes? I'm awfully sorry?
What are your plans for after the war??
Plans??
I only ask because if you have nothing definite in mind,
I'd like you to know there's always a job At Ridgefield's for you?
Well, what sort of a job??
You mean test pilot??
Well, that's the thing I had in mind?
Well, don't say anything now?
Think it over? You've plenty of time?
Well, good-bye, Sue?
Bye, Father?
Write to me and let me know?
Would you like a drink, darling??
No, thank you?
Ridgefield tower?
This is Glassjar One-Zero?
Have just crossed the coast at seaford head?
Descending through cloud?
Approaching the airfield?
Roger One-Zero?
Driving through clouds?
Full throttle? A? S? I? 320?
Will, she's a beauty?
Roger, One-Zero?
30, 000? Am leveling out?
Auto observer on?
I'm starting down now?
If I get any buffeting, I'll throttle back?
Here we go?
This is it?
30, 000?
29?
28?
27?
26?
25, 000?
Mach 0? 7?
I'm getting buffeting now?
Air brakes open? Throttling back?
OK, coming down to land now?
Ridgefield tower to One-Zero?
Clear to join circuit and land?
Runway 3-0?
Call down wind?
Roger?
I said use 3-0, not the control tower?
Your message received and understood?
What ho!
What ho!
How was the wonder kite??
What do you think??
Can I take her out tomorrow??
No, Windy, no? She's my baby?
I've nothing on A? M?
Oh, yes, you have? I've got a job for you?
I promised to deliver a Vampire for deHavillands?
Where to??
Cairo?
Cairo? Cairo??! Ooh! Whizzo!
Don't tell the wife?
Hello?
Hello, darling?
Yes, just a few minutes ago?
Hey, what's for dinner??
No, piece of cake?
No, really?
I shan't be long?
Good-bye?
Hey, Windy, let's have that back?
Here, I say--
I've just remembered there's a type I know in Cairo,
And I could do with a little sun myself?
Never mind? You have a nice quiet weekend at the Shoreham?
Well?? How was it??
All right?
Did you take her flat out??
No, nothing like?
- Pity? - Why pity??
I thought perhaps our intrepid air ace
might be the first man through the sound barrier?
There ain't no such thing?
You ought to check up on your supersonics,
Not to mention the popular press?
What's so ruddy peculiar about the speed of sound??
We all know exactly what it is, don't we??
750 miles per hour at ground level?
Now, if we go slower than that, we can hear ourselves going?
And if we go faster, we can hear ourselves coming?
It's a mere matter of acoustics?
Hello, Miss Mitchell?
Good afternoon?
1 9, 000, mach 0? 7?
Slight buffeting commencing on wings?
1 8, 500? Buffeting increasing?
1 7,500? Mach 0? 8?
Buffeting is rather bad?
She's shaking to pieces?
The whole ruddy issue's disintegrating?
Don't do that? You'll give me heart failure?
I'm throttling back and pulling out?
What an exquisite voice I do have, to be sure?
Time for a drink??
No? Got too much work to do?
How's the 902 coming along??
I want J? R? to find a name for her,
Something that would suggest the highest speed yet flown?
How about the "line shoot"??
There won't be any line shoot about her?
She'll do it, all right?
Do what??
The speed of sound?
What would happen if you took the wings off
and put them on back to front??
Oh, go away? Go away?
Well???
seriously??
Apart from the buffeting and heavy controls
and general wangling about,
and other little things we know about???
what exactly does happen to an aeroplane at the speed of sound??
I don't know?
And shall I tell you something, Tony??
What??
No one else in the world does, either?
Darling??
How was it??
Piece of cake?
It's always a piece of cake?
Sherry??
A little one?
What was your day like??
Pretty good?
I've got the most wonderful news?
Have you??
Two bits of wonderful news, in fact,
Only one's not quite so wonderful as the other,
So I'll start with the less wonderful, shall l??
You know that little house at andrews corner??
Broom cottage??
I think we can have it?
But that belongs to that fellow Franklin, doesn't it??
Mmm, but he's leaving?
Oh, but this place isn't so bad, is it??
No, of course not?
But darling, don't you see what a difference it would make
if we had a place that really belonged to us??
Oh, I see all that?
But the old man will hate us leaving him?
He'll hate you leaving him?
He'll hate his daughter leaving him, too?
Oh, darling, don't you yet know after 2 years
What Father and l really feel about each other??
Well, I know you don't exactly see eye to eye--
Eye to eye?? He's always despised me
For not being born a son?
Darling?
It's true?
Just as later he despised Chris
For not turning out to be the son he wanted?
I can't despise him in return because I admire him--
Admire him tremendously for what he's done?
As for what he is,
Well, all I can say, it's best I should live out of his house?
What was the other wonderful piece of news??
It'll keep?
Dinner?
Were there any other symptoms besides this buffeting??
Well, I noticed that the controls got hard at mach 0?85?
A rather funny way?
What height was that??
1 8,000?
There's no doubt about it?
We're just on the fringe of the problem?
Father?
What problem??
Supersonics?
The sound barrier??
Yes? That's a newspaper phrase?
And like most of them, pretty misleading?
You mean there isn't a barrier??
No, there's a barrier, all right,
But it's spread out on either side of the speed of sound,
Roughly between mach 0?85--
Mach?? What mach??
You see, it's a way we have
of measuring the speeds with which we fly?
We no longer fly at miles per hour?
We fly at mach numbers?
Now, mach 1 is the speed of sound?
But why sound??
What makes a barrier?? Is it sound??
It's a combination--
It's air?
You see, Sue, there's a limit
to the speed at which air itself can move?
Now, this rule is traveling at 30 mile an hour, let's say?
You can hear the air whistle as it moves out of its way?
But if it were traveling at 750 miles an hour--
the speed of sound, mach 1--
the air could no longer move out of its way
because it just can't move that fast?
It would pile up in front of the rule or the aircraft,
making, if you like, a barrier?
Now, we don't exactly know what happens to an aircraft
when it gets into these conditions?
Tony knows it buffets as he gets near to them?
Some say the craft would go right out of control,
others that it would break up altogether?
Now, I don't believe that, Sue?
I believe that with the right aircraft and the right man,
We can force our way through this barrier
and once through, there is a world--
Whole new world, with speeds of 1,500 to 2,000 miles an hour?
Within the grasp of man?
And Tony here may be the first man to see that new world?
Well? Let's go, shall we??
Do you think the Americans will beat us to it??
Well, they may, but we're 2 years ahead in jet engine development?
I think it's between ourselves,
Vickers, and deHavillands at the moment?
It's a pity deHavillands will have their 1 08 out before our 902?
Oh, by the way, Will wants a name for her?
Got any ideas, Dad??
Yes? Prometheus?
Prometheus?? Who was he??
He was a Greek god?
Stole fire from Heaven?
Oh, yes? I remember?
Came to a sticky end, didn't he??
He did? But the world got fire?
How long before I can have a crack at this thing, Dad??
Not long, but you've got quite a bit of homework to do first?
You'd better get started right away?
"A theory of supersonic shockwaves?"
Oh, I shan't understand a word of this?
There's nothing to understand? That's the trouble?
That fella spends 50 pages telling us he doesn't know a thing?
But you better read it all the same?
All right, but I shall need you to do some explaining for me?
You go up to the observatory?
I'll be with you in a minute?
All right?
How is the new telescope working, Father??
It's good, but it might be better?
I think one day I'll build myself
a proper observatory out in the park?
Father, answer me a question, will you??
Yes??
Is the ability to travel at 2,000 miles an hour
going to be a blessing to the human race??
Well, I'd say that's up to the human race?
As a member of it, I can't feel unduly optimistic?
In fact, if that's all that lies beyond this barrier???
what purpose is there in risking lives to pierce it??
Well, I could talk about national security,
beating the potential enemy bomber?
Flying to New York in 2 hours--
But that's not the real point?
The real point is it's just got to be done?
What purpose did Scott have in going to the South Pole??
I wish I knew?
I really wish I knew?
This coffee's bitter?
Yes, I got it at Weymouth's in High Street?
Franklin tells me you've been looking at his house?
Yes, Father? I made him an offer?
That house is not suitable,
either for my daughter or my chief test pilot?
Franklin won't accept your offer?
How do you know??
Well, my dear Susan,
Mr? Franklin likes his present job very much,
and I have no doubt, no doubt at all, he'd be anxious to keep it?
Good night, honey?
Will you try not to use "piece of cake" talk for a moment??
I'll try not to?
How dangerous is it going to be??
Well, exploring the unknown must always be a little chancy?
Yes, I see?
Darling?
I did go and see the doctor this morning?
When??
End of December?
Oh, how clever of you?
We'll save money on the little brat's birthday presents?
Certainly not? Even if he arrives on Christmas Day,
He'll still get 2 lots?
We might give him a false birthday in june?
That's right, darling? Say "him?"
Say "him" whenever you think about it?
A psychologist chap I know
says there is something in that theory?
- Tony??? - What??
Must it be you??
This sound barrier?? Must it be you??
Yes, darling? I'm afraid it must?
Couldn't someone else?????
No, Sue? It's my pigeon?
I promised myself when you took this job
that I'd never nag you about it, Tony,
And I really wouldn't have done
if you'd just gone on testing aeroplanes?
I find now I'm married not only to a test pilot
but married to an explorer as well?
It's a bit unfair, Tony--really, it is?
Darling, I hate it?
I'll think about it, darling?
I promise you?
I'll think most awfully hard about it?
Hey? Do you remember Philip Peel??
Of course? Like to fly with me tomorrow and have lunch with him??
Fly? Hey, will he be all right??
According to modern theory, yes?
He'd like to very much?
Good?
It's strictly unofficial?
So not a word to anyone?
No?
Not even Dad?
At the minimum, we should be back by dinner?
All right??
Yes?
Where are we going, Tony??
Cairo?
Funny--I thought you said Cairo?
I did say Cairo?
Silly?
You all right??
Fine?
Ridgefield tower, this is Glassjar One-Zero?
Clear for take-off??
One-Zero clear for take-off?
Have a good time?
We're starting to climb now?
We use too much fuel down here?
How high are we going??
About 40,000? 8 miles?
Is our engine all right??
I think so? Why??
I can hardly hear it?
Glassjar One-Zero, this is Ridgefield tower,
Transmit for a fix?
Ridgefield tower, this is Glassjar One-Zero,
Transmitting for a fix?
On course 1 56?
Altitude 35, 000 feet? Over?
Your position is Dover?
Darling??? France?
Cap Griz Nez?
Belgium and Holland on the horizon?
Paris?
There you are--see the Arc de Triomphe and all the avenues branching off it??
I can't see the Eiffel Tower?
Well, look ahead? You can see the Alps?
We'll go over the top if the weather's OK?
Geneva tower, this is Glassjar One-Zero?
Mediterranean?
You'll be to see Athens in a moment?
The Earth is beginning to look awfully small and insignificant?
I don't know that I like it?
You're being old-fashioned, darling?
Why worry about the poor old Earth??
Look up there?
There's our future--space?
You can't make that insignificant?
Down there's had it?
Hey, there's the Comet?
What a ladder?
You're lucky to have one?
Tony!
Phil!
It's good to see you?
How are you??
And Sue? How are you??
Wonderfully well, Philip?
Isn't this exciting??
- Did you have a good trip?? - Piece of cake?
I see you haven't widened his vocabulary much?
I say, this is the Vampire, isn't it??
Night Fighter?
I suppose I couldn't take her on a quick circuit, could l??
No, you certainly couldn't?
I always said you'd get bored becoming an oil magnate?
I'm not bored with it?
It's just that l-- well, I haven't flown anything for 1 8 months, that's all?
If you want to fly,
you've got to take that job at Ridgefield's?
The offer's still open?
I'd better go in and check in at the flight office?
Look--meet us over there by the jeep, will you??
What job at Ridgefield's, Philip??
Test pilot?
He mentioned it in his last letter,
But I didn't take him seriously?
I didn't think he was high enough to scatter jobs about?
He is, you know?
Does he get on with the great man??
He calls him "Dad?"
It's hot?
Oh, Tony, why did you bring that awful thing??
You know how I hate it?
You know, when I got your wire, I thought you must be tight?
I probably was?
I say, how are you going to get back??
Get back?? Oh, I hadn't thought of that?
Well, why don't you try going by sea??
It's a nice, restful trip?
Only 1 5 days?
1 5--Tony???
Now, don't worry, darling? We'll think of something?
Why don't you ask Cunningham??
He tests the Comet
Between here and London most days?
Rival firm? Never mind?
We'll cadge a lift somewhere?
Hey, where are you taking us for lunch??
To an open-air place?
- Jess is meeting us there? - Oh, good?
It's the best food in Cairo?
Hooray!
To think you were in England only this morning?
It seems like a miracle, doesn't it??
I can't quite believe it myself?
I'm so glad, Jess, to meet you at last?
- So am l? - I can never realize
You don't know each other?
Here's to us?
- To us? - To us?
How are the children??
Oh, fine, thank you?
Isn't that Cunningham??
Yes, I think it is?
Darling, do you think I ought to swallow my pride
and cadge that lift home after all??
I certainly do? If we have to go back by boat,
I shall be wearing these trousers for a fortnight?
How much would they pay you as a test pilot??
What?? Oh about 200 a year less than I'm getting at the moment?
Oh, well? I expect we'll manage somehow?
They're off?
Home--in 5 hours?
Thanks, chum? She's a nice, steady old crate?
Go on?
Who was it said, "Oh, to be in England"??
Browning, but he wasn't?
Oh, Tony, it was a wonderful trip?
I knew you'd love it?
Love it?? I shall treasure it all my life?
Every single moment?
Darling, stop a minute, will you??
Paper?
Thank you?
I remember you telling me once
One of the reasons you love flying so much
Was that you found a sort of peace up there
That you couldn't find anywhere on earth?
When we seemed to be hanging up there
between Heaven and Earth,
I found a strange, secure sort of peace, too--
Almost like the feeling one gets
in one of those especially comfy dreams?
I never thought it'd be like this?
Darling, will you stop at the office block for a moment??
I want to see Dad about something?
Of course?
I've just spoken to them?
Do they know what happened??
No more than you read there?
What speed??
The fastest yet achieved anywhere on Earth?
Disintegrated?
"Wreckage lies scattered over a mile-wide area?"
It looks as if it really had exploded in the air?
But they must know more than this?
They don't-- they won't, either?
There's nothing left to tell?
They may have hit something?
Aye, he hit something, all right?
He hit the speed of sound?
Well, it looks as if I might have been wrong after all?
You can't get through this thing?
That was a great aircraft, flown by a great pilot?
Yes, I know?
Well, do we go on??
Well, that's for you to decide, isn't it??
Yes, I suppose it is?
I wanted to know how you feel about it?
Could we get a full report on all this
And could I look at it??
It might help us?
Oh, and if you're sending a wire, you might put my name on it, too?
He was a good bloke, old Geoffrey?
I better say it at once?
I'm going on with this sound barrier business?
Why, Tony??
It's difficult to explain? I--
Just feel it's got to be done, that's all?
By you??
Yes, by me?
Was he married??
Yes, I believe he was?
Is there anything I could say That will stop you, Tony??
No, Sue? Nothing?
Don't you see?? I can't let the show down now?
Let the show down??
Is there any thought in your mind of letting me down, or him??
Oh, Sue?
If only I could understand, Tony,
but I can't, you see?
I can only see a great wall in the sky
strong enough to smash an aircraft to pieces?
Beyond it, nothing? Nothing at all?
I'm sorry, Sue?
Darling??? I promise you
I did mean to speak to Dad and ask him
whether I mightn't give up this job,
But after-- well, after this, how could l??
Don't you see what he'd have felt about me if I had??
I've heard those words before, Tony?
Christopher said them to me the night before he was killed?
He was scared, too, Father might think he was a coward?
Oh, it isn't that?
It's just that I don't want him to think I'm ratting on a job
because someone else got killed doing it?
Where are you going??
I can't face him tonight?
Oh, darling?
Leave me alone?
Oh, Sue's not feeling very well?
She is not coming down?
Sorry?
You know, when I first started flying,
some people-- religious people--
Thought what we were doing was wrong?
They thought it was breaking a law of nature?
Sounds funny now, of course,
But they used to say If God had meant us to fly,
He'd have given us wings?
Now, this sound barrier?
People might feel again that
God had put it there for his own good purpose???
That it can't be broken?
That it would be wrong to try?
Now, I wouldn't blame anyone who believed that?
I wouldn't blame them at all?
Do you believe that, Tony??
No, Dad? If I believe anything, it's the exact opposite?
Oh, if only I were 30 years younger?
Well, sorry about Sue?
We'll get Factor to send her up a tray?
Let's go in, shall we??
Mummy, somebody at the door?
Yes, dear? I know?
Oh, Sally, don't play on the stairs, dear? I've told you before?
Hello, Jess? Am I disturbing you??
No, of course not? Do come in?
I was shopping, and l thought I'd drop in?
Hello, Bobbie?
I made this?
Oh, isn't that lovely??
Jess, I wanted to speak to Philip rather urgently? Is he in??
No, but he'll be back quite soon, I expect?
Let's go in here?
Oh, I do think you've done this charmingly?
You--You know this is the house I'd set my heart on, don't you??
Why ever did you want this when you've got
that big house practically to yourselves??
I just did?
Here he is and I haven't got the pie in the oven?
Excuse me? Hello, darling?
Hello, sweet?
Look who's here again? Isn't that nice??
I'm just getting lunch?
- Hello? H- ello?
I was passing, and I thought--
Well, it was a nice thought?
Come on? Come and sit down?
How was the flight??
Wonderful? And Tony was kind about my flying, too?
No regrets, then?
None at all?
Why does everyone I'm fond of have to be a test pilot??
Why can't they sit in offices like the rest of humanity??
The rest of humanity doesn't know what it's missing?
When Tony's flying these days???
I try to go to the cinema?
You can't hear the sound so clearly in there?
Philip???how does Jess feel about all this??
I think she accepts it just as a job, like any other?
I wish I were like Jess?
I'm not very brave, I'm afraid?
When is he testing the Prometheus at full speed??
I don't know?
You do, I think?
But perhaps it's best you shouldn't tell?
What's he doing at this minute??
He's up for half an hour on a routine test?
Will you stay for lunch??
Oh, won't that be difficult for Jess?? Has she enough??
Oh, she'll manage somehow?
Susan, you mustn't worry, you know?
There's no better pilot in this country?
Philip, I believe to have courage,
one must also have understanding?
If only I could understand the purpose of it all?
You know, l-I don't think that sort of understanding
Comes from up here??? Only from here?
Oh, Jess, lay on another place, will you??
Susan's staying to lunch?
Well??
Tomorrow at 3?
What?? The full test??
Yes?
That's good work, Will?
She's still nose heavy over mach 9?0?
Well, give up the test if you're worried?
Of course I'm worried? Wouldn't you be worried??
Tony says it's not serious?
He can correct easily?
He doesn't want to wait any longer? Nor do l?
You need a rest, Will?
Of course I need a rest?
I've needed a rest for over 35 years?
Give me a drink?
You know where to find it?
Where is Tony now??
He's over with the new test pilot?
That boy's a good flyer, by the way?
Tony says he's better than him?
That's not true? No one's better than Tony?
Tony hasn't got it up here?
That's what a pilot needs nowadays--
brains and imagination?
Isn't that what they've always needed??
Maybe? Well, here's hoping?
Well, what is it, Dad??
Galaxy in Andromeda?
How far away is that??
Oh, about 700,000 light-years?
You mean what I'm seeing now
is the way this galaxy looked 700,000 years ago??
That's right?
I'm looking into the past, then, aren't l??
In a manner of speaking?
Is there a way of looking into the future??
Yes?
How??
Through that telescope?
What you see there is the past, the present, and the future,
All in one?
The process of continuous creation?
Stars die, stars are born?
No beginning, no end?
Yes, you can see into the future out there, all right?
Nice hobby you've got here?
Passes the time?
Well, good night?
Tony?
You hardly knew Christopher, did you??
Well, just that one night?
Susan blames me for his death, doesn't she??
Well, that you needn't answer?
I know she does?
I just wondered if you blamed me, too?
You can tell me the truth? I can take it?
Do you, Tony??
No?
Hmm? Good night, Tony boy?
Happy landings for tomorrow?
A piece of cake?
Oh, sorry, darling?
I didn't mean to wake you?
You're very late, Tony?
Been gassing with the old man?
You're flying tomorrow??
Just the usual bumble around?
What time??
3:?00?
I'll see that film at the Palace?
It's a good one, I hear?
Darling???
Would you mind if we called him John??
I think I do?
Good night?
Good night, my love?
- Pity? - What??
That I didn't meet you 10 years ago?
Why??
I'd have had 10 years longer of being married to you?
- Good night? - Good night?
Tony?
Oh, Tony?
Crash crew, this is control testing?
How do you hear me??
- Roger? - Good afternoon?
Stand by in crash position on runway 2 Zero?
- Good afternoon? - Hello?
Ridgefield tower from Glassjar One-Zero?
Clear for take-off??
One-Zero? Clear to go?
Roger?
Ridgefield tower?
This is Glassjar One-Zero?
I'm going up to 40, 000 and dive her first
at a mach number of about 0? 95 or 0? 96?
Roger, One-Zero?
Coming in over the airfield now?
One-Zero to tower? Flying level?
30, 000 feet?
Conditions pretty near perfect? Visibility unlimited?
I'm going up another 1 0 to 40,000?
40,000, straight and level???
Outside air temperature-- 50 below???
Revs--12,500, asi--380 knots?
OK? Here we go?
Not quite 0?90, no buffeting, trim correct?
Increasing speed?
0?94???
0?95???
Buffeting, nose heavy? Trimming back?
Port wing dropping, air brakes open, throttling back?
OK? At that speed, nothing serious,
behavior normal, apart from nosing down?
Right? I'm going up to 40, 000 feet again for the full go?
Hello? T ony? This is Will?
Did you correct that nose-heavy trim before opening air brakes??
All right, Will, you old hen?
Everything they said would happen did happen?
All in order? Don't fuss?
What about your nose-heavy trim?? Did you correct??
Of course I corrected?
I told you I was climbing again, didn't I??
OK? 40, 000, straight and level?
All set? Hang on a minute?
Here we go? This is it?
0?95, buffeting, nose heavy?
Trimming back?
0?96???
0?97???
0?98???
25,000, very nose-heavy, air brakes open?
The controls don't respond! I can't hold her!
0?99???
- Still no response? - Bail out?
Coming up to mach 1!?
Bail out? Bail out?
Crash--square Abel 7?
Get back?
Why did you come here??
I wanted to? I wanted to?
You better sit down?
Is Father here??
No?
He was here for an hour or more, but he's gone now?
Oh, Will???
I don't know what to say to you, Susie, love?
I don't know what to say?
I can't go on, of course?
I've had my fill of designing airplanes?
Still, I don't know where it went wrong?
I can't fathom it?
Oh, I suppose I've got too old?
What are you going to do??
I don't know?
I hadn't thought--
I must go somewhere, I think?
No, Susie, love? Please don't?
I'm thinking of J? R?
I know how things are between you,
but don't leave him alone now,
not for a bit, anyway?
I must go now, Will?
Please don't blame yourself?
Tony knew he was up against something he couldn't beat?
Come on? I'd better take you home?
All set? Hang on a minute?
Here we go? This is it?
0? 95, buffeting, nose heavy?
Trimming back?
0? 96???
0? 97???
0? 98???
25, 000, very nose-heavy, air brakes open?
The controls don 't respond!? I can 't hold her!?
0? 99???
- Still no response? - Bail out?
Coming up to mach 1?
Bail out? Bail out?
- Sue? - Jess?
Get Dr? Paton, Philip? Come on? Come upstairs?
Roll up?
It is a boy, isn't it??
Yes?
Oh, Tony?
Name this child?
John Anthony?
John Anthony, I baptize you
in the name of the Father???
and of the Son???
and of the Holy Ghost?
Amen?
Now smile, please?
He's here? The car is outside?
Oh, dear, I hoped he wouldn't?
Don't panic, Jess?
Ah, how do you do??
Well, hello, Sue?
Hello, Father?
Hello, young fella? Did you Christen him Tony??
No? John?
It was what Tony wanted?
Hmm, he's a fine baby?
Yes, indeed?
Oh, Sir John, can I tempt you to this??
Oh, thank you, Mrs? Peel?
It's a charming house you have here?
Glad you like it, Sir John?
I haven't had a chance yet of congratulating you, Father?
Hmm, quite the surprise?
I hear the new airline is a great success?
We hope so?
Here's a small present for John?
Thank you?
The Chinaman, he says, "me no likee pretty lady?
Me likee pretty drinkee?"
Hello, Will?
Hello, J?R?
Delighted to see you looking so much better?
How was Bognor??
Oh, very restful, very quiet?
- Glad you're back? - I'm not back?
Oh, well, when you're at Bognor, you might have a look at this?
I'd like your views?
- Byfield's work?? - Yes?
What's his idea in that??
To increase stability?
The way I see it, J? R?, a good aircraft,
It's got to have something
Sort of inevitable about it?
Now look?
This thing could be changed 1 00 different ways?
For example--
Do you know what you are, J? R???
You're a vile seducer?
By the way, I hear you've made a new Prometheus?
What's the idea??
It's too good an aircraft to lose, Will?
It's the best that came out of England since the war?
No? It failed, J? R?
It wasn't the aircraft that failed, Will?
Ah, you'll come and see me on Monday?
Well, this may not be the time to tell you,
but I've been watching your work very closely,
and now Makepeace is leaving us,
I've decided to promote you to chief test pilot?
Thank you, Sir John?
In the firm, I'm still known as J? R?
I want you to take up the new Prometheus tomorrow?
Yes, J? R?
Take her up every day for the next few weeks, no specific tests?
- Just get used to her? - Right?
Well, good-bye and thank you? A charming party?
- Oh, and, Peel??? - Yeah??
Not above mach 0?90 until further orders?
- Philip?? - I think so?
Hello, darling?
Come on? Up we get?
Has John been good??
Yes? He doesn't seem to mind the noise at all?
You've both been very good to me here?
I don't think you'll ever realize how grateful I am?
Why this all of a sudden??
I think I've got that flat in London?
Oh, dear, I'm sorry?
We shall both miss you terribly?
I shall miss you?
Couldn't you find something a little nearer here??
I don't want him to grow up at Ridgefield's
in the shadow of his grandfather?
Come on, darling?
Why not stick the nose on the tail??
I'll stick your nose on your tail?
- Will??? - Huh??
Is it possible that at the speed of sound,
the controls are reversed??
At the speed of sound, Philip, anything is possible?
Why??
During the war once, a put a spitfire
into a flat-out dive, no particular reason,
just youthful high spirits?
I think now that I hit the sound barrier?
I remember that the more I pulled on the stick,
The harder the nose went down?
The same thing happened this morning?
You're not supposed to do a high mach number?
I know, but I did?
Both times, I had the feeling
that if I'd had the guts to put the stick forward
instead of pulling it back,
I could've pulled out without having to lose speed?
What do you think??
There's nothing in the books to suggest for one second
anything so Edgar Allen Poeish?
Well, it depends on the books, doesn't it, Will??
There were books once that said the earth was flat?
Yes??
Oh, he's here?
It's J? R? For you?
Hello??
Peel here, J? R?
Yes? What, now??
Well, yes? Of course? What have I done??
He sounded grim as blazes?
Ooh, lovely, just like his?
Here's Daddy?
I'm sorry I'm late, darling?
We had to start, darling? The children are going to have their hair cut?
I had to see the old man?
- You got it, then?? - I've got what??
The rise, of course?
Oh, blast it? I forgot to ask him?
You forgot to ask him??
I'm sorry, darling?
Oh, really, what a husband?
All right? Bobbie, take your soldiers, darling,
and go out and play on the lawn?
Here we are? You come with me?
- Nice flight, dear?? - Yes, thanks? Wonderful?
Got something hot for you in the oven?
What did he want??
- You won't tell Jess, will you?? - No?
He asked me to take Prometheus up
and reproduce exactly the conditions under which Tony crashed?
Could I have the bread, please??
Thanks?
At the same speed??
Faster, if possible?
When??
Well, I shall take off this afternoon
at a high mach number, and if that's all right,
Full crack tomorrow?
Are you going to do it??
I don't have to, you know??
This is merely a suggestion, not an order?
That's the situation, Sue--
I don't have to, but I must?
Why must you??
Well, it's a bit hard to explain?
I only know that if I don't accept your father's suggestion,
I should never want to fly again,
and--as flying, I've now found out, is my life--
Well, l--
Here we are, darling?
Hope it's still all right?
Looks lovely?
Fancy you, forgetting to ask for the rise?
I shouldn't worry about it?
I don't think he'll object now?
Is it safe to buy the coats for the children??
Oh, good?
Now they'll look smarter than those stuck-up Harrison kids?
A complaint from one of our most important customers in Mexico
has revealed to me a possible defect
in the Marlborough Mark lll engine mounting?
Ah, hello, Will?
What's the test schedule for Prometheus tomorrow??
The details are on the sheet?
There's one quite important detail that isn't?
At what mach number is my machine to fly??
Mach 1?
Wasn't Tony enough for you??
We learned a lot from Tony's crash?
Just enough to know that to fly at the speed of sound is death?
Haven't you had enough of that??
No?
Ever heard of pilotless aircraft??
This problem can't be solved with pilotless aircraft,
not in years, anyway?
Well, what are a few years one way or another??
Important to me?
I may not have so many of them?
Trying for a peerage now, huh??
You better get out, Will?
I'm sorry for you, J? R?
I don't know what devil it is that's eating you up,
But it can't make life any too happy for you?
Cable to Mexico City-- your letter received?
It shall receive our attention? Stop?
Oh, good evening, Sue?
Good evening, Father?
Well, you don't often give me the pleasure
of seeing you these days?
How's my grandson??
He's very well?
Good?
Father???
Yes??
Are you going on with this test tomorrow??
What's that to do with you??
Did Philip tell you what happened to him this afternoon??
Yes? I've just been reading his report?
For a good 1 0 seconds, he was completely out of control?
What are his chances if that happens tomorrow??
Well, it might not happen tomorrow?
Please put off the test, Father?
No?
You're prepared to let Philip go the way of Tony??
Well, we don't know the way of Tony?
That's Philip's job tomorrow,
to find out how Tony was killed?
And Tony was finding out how Geoffrey deHavilland was killed,
and another pilot will be given the job of finding out how Philip was killed?
Each time, we'll learn a bit more?
So that one day in the distant future,
Ridgefield's will build an airliner
- that'll go to new york in 3 hours??? - Two?
So that a few people who can afford the fare
will spend an occasional weekend in New York
and Ridgefields' shares will go up and up?
My dear Susan, what kind of man do you think I am??
I don't know? I really don't know?
What sort of a man with two deaths on his conscience
could risk burdening it with a third??
A man whose only human feeling
is a passionate worship for a great pile
of bricks and mortar called Ridgefield's?
My dear Susan, if you were to tell me
that only by giving up Ridgefield's and going back to where I started
Could I find out what happens to an aircraft at the speed of sound,
I'd say, "all right, Susan, my girl, it's a deal?"
I don't believe it?
You don't believe it because you can't understand it?
You'll make imaginary sacrifices for yourself,
but it's other people's lives you really sacrifice?
You think I felt nothing at Tony's death?
What else can I think when a few hours after his death,
I find you listening to his voice??
Our ways are different in so many things,
I expect our ways of feeling grief are different, too?
Well, I don't suppose you've any more to say to me?
Yes? I have, Father?
I'm taking John to live in London?
Oh, indeed??
You know why I'm taking your grandson away from you, don't you??
You want me to think of you as a man with a vision?
Well, that vision has killed both my husband and my brother?
While I'm alive, it's not gonna kill my son, too?
There are evil visions as well as good ones, you know, Father??
That's why I'm taking my baby away?
Thanks, Windy?
Tell them I'll be out in two minutes, all right??
OK?
You sent for me, Father??
Well, thank you for coming?
I've got something to say?
14 to tower? Climbing now?
Jpt seems a bit high, but oil pressure is normal?
Checking? Will call again later?
Before you go off, I wanted to know what school you've got John down for?
Is that all you wanted to say??
No? Good schools are not two a penny?
You've got to think?
But surely, there's plenty of time?
14 to tower? 1420 hours?
I'm climbing to 40, 000 feet, weather conditions--ideal?
I'm going to make my first run level at full throttle?
Still climbing?
Susan?
Y es, Father??
Leveling out now? 40, 000? All right?
I'm all set? Starting run now?
Increasing speed?
Revs-- 1 2,500, mach 0? 88???
0? 89, slight buffeting???
0? 90?
Getting nose-heavy now? Correcting?
Throttling back?
Run completed?
I'm sorry? I must go?
No, no? Don't go? Stay and talk?
Don't leave me alone?
1 4 to tower? Still at 40, 000?
At that speed, she was quite controllable?
There was slight port wing drop,
But nothing serious?
Didn 't have to use trim? I corrected on the stick?
JPT now normal?
Well, what were we talking about??
It was about schools, wasn't it??
Yes?
Right? Second run?
This time, we'll try a dive, 35 degrees?
Here we go again? Starting dive now?
Maximum revs?
0? 91, slight buffeting?
0? 92, she's pitching a bit, still buffeting?
0? 93, nose very heavy now?
Trimming back?
Port wing dropping? Correcting?
0? 94, still under control?
0? 95, nose still going down?
Air brakes open? Throttling back?
Second run completed?
Can a vision be evil, Sue??
Can it?? Can it??
I shouldn't have said that?
It's a terrible thing to make a man doubt everything he's ever lived for?
If I've killed them both for nothing--
But it can't be true, can it?? Can it??
Ridgefield tower, this is 1 4? 40,000 again?
All right? Third and last--
Steepest possible dive, full throttle?
Here we go?
0?94???
0?95???
Buffeting?
0?96???
0?97???
0?98???
Out of control?
35,000 feet?
Air brakes open? Throttling back?
Coming out of the dive?
Ridgefield tower, this is 14?
Nose heavy again? I couldn't trim out?
I had to use the air brakes to pull out?
All right? Clear to land now-- runway 30?
1 4? Negative?
I've got an idea I want to try out?
I'm going up again?
Ridgefield tower, this is 1 4?
40, 000 feet?
I think I can beat this nose-heavy business
by reversing the controls?
Anyway, I'm gonna try? I won't be a moment?
All right? Here we go?
Increasing speed?
0? 94???
0? 95???
Buffeting?
0?96???
0?97???
0?98?
Oh, she's out of control?
0?99???
Mach 1!
I'm putting the stick forward?
She's coming out?
Throttling back? Pulling out now?
I did it! I did it!
14 to tower, on fourth run,
Mach meter showed??? 1?01?
Corrected nose-heavy trim by putting the stick forward?
Have you got that?? Stick forward?
I'm landing now?
He's got through?
It's all right? He got through?
You???You do me a favor, will you??
Of course?
You don't tell anyone
what happened in this office this afternoon?
Do you think I would??
I say, a chap called sound just looked in?
He's absolutely livid with you, old boy?
Says he's gonna bump his speed up next time?
Oh, good? I've found you in?
- Hello, darling? - Darling, I want to show you this?
Lord and Mason's won't take it back after closing time tonight,
So we've got to make up our minds now?
Now, look--do you think the color's too much,
because if so, they've got one that's sort of
beigey color with stripes going down here,
And l--well, it seemed a bit dull to me, but if you--
Look, darling, pay attention?
This is very important? Is it all right??
Yes, I'm sorry, darling? Yes, it's fine? Absolutely fine?
Good? That's lovely?
I'll be able to get back in time?
Well, bye-bye, darling? See you at home?
I thought I heard a car?
I wondered if it could be you?
He has the look of Tony?
His eyes?
What's that??
That's the moon?
I never knew it could look so unfriendly?
It's an unfriendly universe?
Do you believe that??
Unfriendly only because it's unconscious of our existence?
That's a depressing conception?
It doesn't depress me?
In our fight with the universe, it gives us the advantage?
Must it always be a fight??
Well, I think it must?
Wasn't for nothing we were given so many weapons to fight with?
Such as??
Imagination, for one thing?
Which some people call vision, don't they??
Yes, some people do?
And I suppose another weapon is courage?
Daddy, why didn't you tell me??
Tell you what??
How alone you must have been?
Even Will had more imagination than me?
I am sorry?
You've no need to be?
I must put John to bed?
- Yes? - He's no right to be
Up as late as this?
You mustn't keep your car waiting?
The car is gone, Father?
We've come home?
