Lost in fog over the North Sea, low on fuel, with no working compass or radio, the pilot begins flying in small triangles, an odd flying pattern which would typically be detected on radar, with the intention of notifying an air traffic controller to send other aircraft to find him and "shepherd" (i.e. guide) him to Merriam St. George, the closest airstrip he is aware of. While making these maneuvers he encounters a World War II era De Havilland Mosquito fighter-bomber. The Mosquito's pilot uses hand signals to give the Vampire's pilot flight commands and motions him to follow to a runway just as he runs out of fuel. The pilot lands at a disused British airbase and learns that no planes had been sent to his aid and his rescue must have been engineered by the ghost of a deceased World War II pilot.
