Southern Taxiway (Chameleon Flight 419)
Heslington clears Chameleon Flight 419 to taxi along the Southern Taxiway for departure from Gatwick Airport. Blade coordinates the final vector as tension mounts. Commandant scrambles an RAF fighter from Manston to pursue the suspicious plane. The Doctor deems the effort futile. Jean confirms the tail. This paved concrete path, marked for aircraft guidance, carries the alien-laden flight beyond immediate reach, its lights and markings visible from the control tower.
