The last of eight films following the fortunes of the young men who aim to fly the fast jets of the Royal Air Force.
There's just one student left. He's an officer and he can fly - but can he make a kill? The sole survivor learns to drop bombs and fire guns in the fight to live for another day.
For the first time he faces the realisation that he will be the one to carry a nuclear warhead; it will be for him to drop it on the right place. He begins to appreciate the implications of his chosen profession.
