"A terrorist organisation plan to steal a Royal Air Force fully armed jet fighter and use it to attack a prime target on the United Kingdom mainland.
Through very cruel planning they convert one of the Royal Air Force's top pilots to their cause.
Because of a change of target at the last minute and the accidental intervention of a resourceful conscript the plan ends in disaster.
"

"Terrorists went to great lengths to steal a fully armed jet fighter, including blackmailing one of the RAF's top pilots into taking part. The aircraft was to be used for an attack on the royal yacht Britannia with the queen on board and if successful would strike of the very heart of the British establishment with devastating consequences. "
