Contents
- A Spanish monoplane which had crashed in its back in a field in Wiltshire, a crew of very amateur yachtsmen who fished for lobsters and caught a crab (in more ways than one), not forgetting the observant schoolboy who did his bit in the thrilling interception of a freight-carrier by Biggles piloting a helicopter.
