THE MACHINES TAKE OVER
Farnborough.
HE clouds hang thick and wet over the hills and hedges of Farnborough; September rain oozes down in thick drops. In the distance you can just make out the low line of buildings for boffins. In between the wide, concrete runways; look like ribbons of icd
You strain to see through the clouds. Suddenly there is a roar and a sparkling white triangle flashes by. You see now why people talk about "flying saucers." If this didn't come from another planet, nothing does.

Then you learn-

"See that," he says. "No pllot. Does anything you want. Called the Firefly 8. Has a pilot

That is a suggestive line.
In point of fact, you discover, nearly every thing on the fleld is almost capable of finding its own way about. Has to be,
