In the skies above the [[Western Front (World War I)|Western Front]] in [[1917]], a [[Great Britain|British]] photographic recce pilot has been intercepted by the infamous Manfred von Richthofen, better known as the [[Red Baron]]. He attempts to shoot his opponent down with his machine gun but is interrupted by the arrival of the TARDIS in mid-air, which allows the British pilot to flee. Desperate for fresh air due to the smoke filling the control room, Donna opens the doors directly facing the Red Baron's plane, but both craft are stopped in their tracks by a [[null-grav haulage ray]] belonging to a hovering spaceship. They are beamed on board to meet the [[Brigade of Gübernators]] - a biomechanical squid-like species that hijacks the brains of skilled pilots to use as their own. He uses [[Fourteenth Doctor's sonic screwdriver|his sonic screwdriver]] on the ray's control orb and they are released. | In the skies above the [[Western Front (World War I)|Western Front]] in [[1917]], a [[Great Britain|British]] photographic recce pilot has been intercepted by the infamous Manfred von Richthofen, better known as the [[Red Baron]].

As the TARDIS dematerialises again, the Doctor explains that history will take care of the Red Baron on its own, while he previously dealt with the Brigade of Gübernators in the [[Bermuda Triangle]] in [[1976]]. He promises Donna that they "won't be seeing ''them'' again", unaware that a single [[Gübernator]] has escaped and attached itself to the TARDIS' roof. | As the TARDIS dematerialises again, the Doctor explains that history will take care of the Red Baron on its own, while he previously dealt with the Brigade of Gübernators in the [[Bermuda Triangle]] in [[1976]].
