Death on the Slipway

by James Mitchell

Steed meets an old enemy - Kolchek - when he investigates a murder in a dockyard. The foreign spy wants the plans to a new nuclear submarine, but - realising Steed will prevent this - he blackmails Fleming (the foreman) into planting a bomb instead. Steed locates the bomb, hidden in Fleming's briefcase, and throws it into the water to explode harmlessly.

The first two unknown slipway workers are almost certainly Robert Bahey and Redmond Bailey but I'm unsure which is which. It may be the elder one is Redmond Bailey, as he's cast as Dr Jones in Nightmare.
