Shots of Land Rover arriving at the headquarters of 210 (Staffordshire) Light Air Defence Battery of the Royal Artillery. A soldier walks inside the headquarters and we then see shots of artillery guns being manoeuvred outside. Views of after-dinner ceremony in which soldiers in dress uniforms blow fire (they call it the Charge of the Light Brigade). Tony Maycock talks to a commanding officer about how the stunt came about and is then surprised when a soldier blows a ball of flame at him.
