[edit] Synopsis
Operation Catherine Wheel has been setup in order to test the War Office's latest weapon: a large, radio-controlled, high explosive-carrying wheel. The Walmington-On-Sea platoon is chosen for fatigues. When Pikie and Walker sneak off to listen to wireless, they cause interference for the wheel, which promptly rolls out of control.
