Warship (1973) S04E08 - Man in Reserve

During exercises with the Royal Naval Reserve, pilot Tim Proctor flies the Wasp over HMS Rellington (displaying pennant number M1136, per HMS Fittleton, a minesweeper sunk in a collision in 1976). While Proctor complains about the RNR ship being miles out of position, Rellington complains about the unscheduled appearance of the Wasp. Proctor had flown the wrong course, which isn't helping his chances of staying in the Navy. On request of officers on Rellington, a crew exchange with Hero takes place: a Lieutenant Mannering, and Dolyle, a doctor, are exchanged with Proctor and his crewmate. Proctor gets along well enough on Rellington; the officers are happy to have a break from Mannering. On Hero, Mannering is constantly mentioning his various supposed achievements, not limited to writing a book and translating the French edition himself, being fluent in most European languages, being a surfer and a diver, assisting his father on his oil rigs, teaching himself computer programming in three hours, service in Vietnam in '68 and he also wins at cards on Hero. On Rellington, Proctor suffers a serious accident and must have an operation within an hour, but the doctor is on Hero, which is two hours distant. Using the Wasp apparently isn't an option, since the pilot is the casualty. However, Mannering causally claims that he could fly the Wasp, but of course isn't permitted. Holt decides to let him try, and delays requesting authorisation from Command. Napier, extremely dubious, nevertheless volunteers to go along and operate the winch. Mannering is able to fly out to Rellington, but has difficulty establishing the right position to hover; Napier is able to help him verbally, and they successfully return Proctor to Hero. The patient dies despite all efforts. Holt receives a reply from Command, that the unqualified officer on no account to be permitted to pilot the Wasp. ‪@RoyalNavy‬ ‪@UKMinistryofDefence‬ #navy #royalnavy #seapatrol #usnavy #warships #british #britain #britisharmedforces
