Though it was conceivable that she lost her father in [[December]] of '47, the likelihood was that it happened during the first half of '48. During the [[Battle of Bellatrix]], [[Dalek]] forces engaged the [[Earth Alliance]] [[Spacefleet]] at [[Bellatrix]]. At the end of the battle, [[Isaac Summerfield II|Admiral Summerfield]]'s battleship, ''[[Tisiphone]]'', fell into a spatio-temporal rift and was transported to [[Earth]] in [[1963]]. Benny was seven at the time.

We know she was seven years old when her father disappeared because we're told that in ''[[Return of the Living Dad]]''.

Since six months before 21 June is 21 December, the earliest time she could have lost her dad was 21 December 2547. However, neither ''The Evacuation . . . '' nor ''The Extinction Event'' characterise Benny as having ''just'' turned eight. Thus, she ''probably'' has been eight for more than ten days, meaning that the [[Battle of Bellatrix]] more likely occurred in early '48 than late '47. | Since six months before 21 June is 21 December, the earliest time she could have lost her dad was 21 December 2547.
