Plot
Somewhat reminiscent of Biggles, Halliday was a pilot for a commercial airline company, the Halliday Charter Company, and flew to his various adventures in an aircraft with the callsign Golf Alpha Oboe Roger George. He was assisted by co-pilot Bill Dodds, played by Terence Alexander, who was later better known for his role of Charlie in "Bergerac". The airline's control base station was Lima Foxtrot.
Their arch-enemy was a character known as The Voice, played by Elwyn Brook-Jones, so called because he was never seen by the other characters, so that at the end of each series he could escape, and reappear in the next. Invisible even to his own gang, The Voice always shone a powerful light in their faces to disguise his identity thereby remaining anonymous.

And treason labouring in the traitor’s thought,
And midwife Time the ripened plot to murder brought.”

The careful Devil is still at hand with means;

To raise up Common-wealths and ruine Kings.”
