Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward is invited by Lord Worden to launch Ocean Pioneer II from the Clydeside Dockyard.
Unbeknown to her, Parker has switched the quality Champagne for a cheap fizzy drink, and is sitting in FAB 1 with fellow chauffeur Stevens getting drunk.
A Visit to Allpets[]
Having been on the panel to judge the Allpets poodle competition, Lady Penelope travels back to see her old friend Sir Arthur, after Jeff has a hunch that OD-60 is in the Mediterranean. Brains had worked out it was the reaction with the high-density fuel on board Ocean Pioneer I that caused it to explode.
She tells Sir Arthur that she is compiling a doggie book and in the chapter on feeding, she feels that her readers will want to know more about OD-60. Sir Arthur confirms Jeff's fears that OD-60 is in the Mediterranean.
