plot synopsis
The TARDIS arrives at Heathrow, and the Doctor becomes involved in investigating the mysterious disappearance of a Concorde. Using the TARDIS to follow a time trail, the plane is found in prehistoric times, where the Master is using the passengers and flight crew as slaves to try and utilise the powers of the Xeraphin to rebuild his TARDIS engines. The Doctor manages to defeat him and banish him to Xeriphas, and get everyone back to modern day Heathrow, where Tegan is accidentally left behind when the TARDIS takes off....
