The Rocket

After loosing big at gambling, Smith, the transport officer at Castle Hill is offered a large amount of money to leak the departure time of a major new experimental rocket section that is being driven up to Scotland for testing. The shipment is hijacked, and Peter Brady who worked on it, sets out to track it down. Once again we find Brady working on a new project, and so when it goes missing he plausibly gets involved (although what isn't explained is why the shipment leaves 20 minutes early, arousing the suspicion of the scientists, when it could just as easily have been hijacked if it had left on time...). A well written episode but nothing too original.
