It is Christmas Eve 1957 and there are cozier places to be
than the cockpit of a de Havilland Vampire fighter plane.
But for the Royal Air Force pilot who has just taken off
from West Germany this single-seat jet is the only way to
make it back to England for Christmas morning. His flight
plan is simple; the fuel tank is full. In sixty-six
minutes he will be back in Blighty. But then the plane
begins to fail. First the compass goes haywire then the
radio dies. Lost and alone above the English coast the
pilot is searching for a landing strip when the fog closes
in signaling certain death. He has given up hope when a
second shadow appears—a Mosquito fighter-bomber of World
War II vintage. The plane is a “shepherd” guiding the
Vampire to a safe landing and its appearance is a gift
from fate a miracle out of time—but for one lonely pilot
the mystery has just begun.
