- How long have you been in the pot?

- Since four.

We saw you coming, sir.

We thought you was Jerries, sir.

Trouble with you fellows is you can't see

anything unless you're 10,000 feet up.

We heard they were sending E-boats.

- When did you hear?

- Ten minutes ago.

Ten minutes? What are we waiting for?

Get aboard.

One of us is wounded.

We shan't be able to get him

across to your boat.

Yes. l quite agree. He can't be moved.

Bit old for a flyer, isn't he?

Well, how do you feel about it?

He's our rear gunner.

Yes...if it wasn't for those E-boats.

Of course, you don't want to leave him.

lt would be the wisest thing to do.

We can't do that.

We're all the one crew, you see?

Yes, l quite agree.

- Coxswain!

- Aye, aye, sir!

- Take this lobster pot in tow!

- Aye, aye, sir!

What about the E-boats?

That to the E-boats. Next stop Dover.

- That's all, Corbett.

- Thank you, sir.

Well, George, this is the new kite.

How do you like it?

Yes, that's more my size.

Right. The target's Berlin.
