Dir: Stephen Whittaker
Starring: Ulrich Thomsen and Shauna Macdonald

A German rocket scientist plans to test his rockets on a remote Scottish island

This drama is set on a remote Scottish island during the late 1930s and is very loosely based on experiments in 1934 by the German inventor Gerhard Zucker to provide a postal service to the island of Scarp by rocket mail. It features a scene towards the end that was filmed at Aviemore station on the Strathspey Railway using Caledonian Railway 812 Class 0-6-0 No.828 in BR livery but not with its BR number (which was No. 57566).
