While Rocket-Rodney was breaking the sound barrier over the North Sea, Pip was carefully being loaded with a backup lever by Chief Barnaby.
"Just in case, Pip," Barnaby said with a knowing wink. "The Highlands aren't like the open skies. The weather up north changes faster than Mr. Grumpington's temper."
Pip taxied out, his twin propeller engines humming a steady, reliable tune. He didn't have supersonic thrusters, but his short wings made him incredibly agile in tight spots. With a cheerful wave from Cargo-Colin and a dignified nod from Captain Victor, Pip took off, heading north toward the rugged Scottish mountains.
Meanwhile, Rocket-Rodney was discovering that speed wasn't everything. He had arrived over the village of Glenbogle in record time, but the bakery wasn't located near a grand, wide airport. The village was nestled deep within a narrow, rocky glen, surrounded by steep cliffs and shrouded in a sudden, fierce mountain mist.
"Hey! Where's the two-mile concrete runway?" Rodney complained to himself, his instruments spinning as he circled the narrow valley.
He tried to dive down into the glen, but his sleek, aerodynamic design meant he gathered speed far too quickly. Every time he lowered his nose, he found himself rocketing toward a solid stone cliff face, forcing him to pull up sharply with a panicked screech of his engines. His neon pink paintwork was covered in cold sweat drops of mountain rain.
"It's too narrow! My turning circle is too wide!" Rodney cried, realizing he was completely stuck above the clouds, unable to deliver the bakery lever without crashing into a mountain.
