The MoD seems to be making light of it, but the enemy has no doubt got it all weighed up.

Why can't the Colonel's son just have an inflatable No. 7 for his Birthday like the other kids?

Hoskins couldn't resist a peek just to make sure the other chaps were still there.

Carruthers was glad only a few more puffs were needed. He was feeling quite light headed!

Having requested a weather balloon suitable for launching from the battlefield, the problem soon became apparent.

Hoskins paused. He put his ear to the tank. His suspicions were confirmed. There was definitely somebody inside!
