Police authority in London, after investigating the Fireflash Aircraft sabotage, found that the international gang Benton Aircraft Espionage were responsible. One of their agents managed to get on board Fireflash 4 and caused it to crash. He himself parachuted to safety and was picked up by an EJ2 Jet. Shortly after, the same agent was shot while on board Fireflash 5 by Gordon, after he had found that the EPU wiring had been cut by the saboteur.
