    At the bank the door to Mainwaring's office is replaced with a paper door. Adding insult to injury of not having a proper door, Mainwaring is even more annoyed at the fact that Pike, the Colonel and Jones manage to destroy it within minutes of it being installed. Godfrey's cottage is due to be demolished to make way for a new airfield but no-one can bring themselves to break the news to him until Jones finds out that he already knows. In the end Frazer, knowing the family history of the General in charge, blackmails him to get the airfield moved 200 yards.
