The next scene shows the platoon helping to load the furniture in Hodges' van as he prepares to move out, with a melancholic Godfrey and his sisters watching as their possessions being carried away. Frazer arrives, bearing news of the official decision to shift the aerodrome several hundred yards, meaning that Godfrey's cottage will now be on the edge of it rather than in the middle. The platoon respond with delight, leaving Hodges annoyed at losing out on the fee for use of his van.
