Object
Airport Tarmac Airplane
The Doctor and Jamie crouch beneath this airplane's fuselage on the airport tarmac, its broad metal underbelly shielding them from a pursuing policeman. Polly stumbles into view, breathless from her escape, and joins them in the cramped space to reveal witnessing a murder at Chameleon Tours hangar. The group huddles tight under its shadow, breaths shallow, as the Doctor fires questions and Jamie offers reassurance amid rising tension. This same airplane also serves as cover for the Doctor and Jamie during a police chase on the runway, where they duck behind its wheels to evade motorcycle police closing in on the TARDIS.
