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.

But it must come from a friendly planet where the sense of beauty is well-developed. This flashing machine has the sort of form Plato dreamed about when he talked of eternity.

It deafens only momentarily; then you hear nothing. Four jeta sigh gently and it touches earth with a smiling flourish.

A man behind, you grunts: “Avro Vulcan, Atom bomber. Touches speed of sound. Why, If that'd been on business none of us would, have known what happened."

You are genuinely sorry. But your attention is distracted. Overhead is a Hawker Hunter, spinning through the clouds, wing over wing, like a corkscrew gone crazy. It spirala up and,thunders down, then levels out and flashes past, slim and black, and you see only a shadow on a distant cloud like some ghost playing hide and seek,

You wonder, for that matter, how the man in the great white Vulcan finds his way through the cloud and the rain, idling along at a gentle 600 miles an hour, likely to be nearer Glasgow than London before he knows what's happened.

Then you learn-

Over the microphone the man with the cultivated voice confides:

You investigate. There is a man from Fairey Aviation nearby. He points à laconic finger, at n tiny plane with black triangular wings standing beside the runway.

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

in it today, just for testing. He just sits there, though...."

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,
