It was the summer of 1917
and the world was at war.
:01:05
Like lots of children, we had to leave
our home - leave London.
:01:09
We didn't want to go, but Dad went to fly planes
:01:12
and Mum went to look after the wounded,
and we were stuck.
:01:15
They insisted we go to the country
:01:17
to stay with mad Uncle Albert
and our cousin Horace.
:01:35
Read all about it! Read all about it!
:01:38
Sopwith squadrons to go to the Western Front.
:01:41
Robert!
- The latest news!
:01:43
Robert, wait!
:01:44
Now, Uncle Albert will meet you at the station.
:01:48
Do you think he'll have model planes -
fighters, like Dad's?
:01:51
I'm not sure, but he has a son called Horace
who's about your age. He might.
:01:56
Children, you're to listen to Cyril
while we're away.
:01:58
Why's he in charge?
You're not in charge of me!
:02:01
Robert, I am.
:02:02
Find a nice...
Oh, there's an empty carriage here.
:02:04
- Dad.
- What?
:02:05
Dad.
:02:07
Is there any way I can come with you?
:02:09
Robert, who's the most important
member of any mission?
:02:13
You are - the pilot.
:02:15
No, it's the navigator.
The pilot would be lost without one.
:02:21
Your mum and I need you
to keep everyone on course.
:02:24
You can count on me.
:02:30
So you always know where to find me.
:02:34
Your compass.
:02:43
I'm going to miss you.
:02:48
Come on. On you get.
:02:52
- All aboard!
- Look after yourself.
:02:53
- Be a brave girl.
- Cyril.
:02:55
Promise to do as Uncle Albert tells you.
:02:57
Anthea, take that. Here's another.
