Plot summary
A senior Royal Air Force officer (Michael Redgrave) is at a party at which one of those present, (Michael Hordern), talks about a dream he had in which the Air Force Officer and a group of companions are flying in a Dakota which crashes on a rocky shore. The Air Marshal is due to fly the following day, but is not disturbed because the many of the details differ from his planned voyage.
