down at a naval base near Freazingham-on-Sea....
General Odd is in discussion with a chap from intelligence about general security issues; they are waiting for an exercise to start...
a launch departs the dock carrying the frogman ....
the exercise will consist of the frogman swimming around various parts of the harbour area making himself visible on occasion - to see if the harbour patrol can spot his activities .....
[new item : standing frogman figure, a micro solider toy picked up in a back at charity shop - just about right for second world war - a couple more would be nice but can't find out the manufacturer]
This is the true story of the Little men and women who were actually there.

Mr Robinson does some deliveries ....
Smith and Robinson had been trying to find out more about the airfields near Salisbury and were building up a reasonable amount of information. Somehow they needed to get onto the bases themselves and see how things looked.
Robinson had managed to get a job with a delivery firm supplying some of the local bases, helping unload the van; at the bigger aerodromes of Boscombe Down and Middle Wallop there was quite tight security and the supplies were usually unloaded at the gate. At least he could be close to the airfields and was able to confirm the presence of fighters and bombers at Boscombe Down; with fighters at Middle Wallop.
At Old Sarum supplies were unloaded near the gate but he was able to get a closer look at the facilities - he was able to confirm the present of Lysanders and possibly some fighters

Robinson has a look round, while the supply store is opened up ...
