A great storyline, and telling performances by principals and guests. Still, there's something not quite right, and the episode falls short of the high status it deserves.

continuity and trivia
Robertson and Stanhope's regiment is" "MID WESEX" - the shoulder patch looks like a doctored "MIDDLESEX" patch (especially as Wessex hasn't existed for centuries, and is spelt with a double-S).
Major Robertson's Sunbeam Alpine has a bit of a double life - it's a Series V for all the external action shots and a Series IV for the closeups filmed in the studio.
Wing Commander Watson's plane does the same thing, gliding smoothly from being a Supermarine Swift to being a De Havilland Chipmunk.
