"la la la, I can't go against orders if you don't know I'm doing it in the first place" kind of way

Obviously anything could have happened, but I find it almost impossible to believe that Biggles wouldn't have eventually gone, even if ordered not to go.

In fact his entire emotional trajectory in the first 3 chapters of Hatchet seems to be being surprised by how well the other people around him know that he should be rescuing Erich. Algy's knowing reaction alone makes him so annoyed XD

‘There’s no need for you to get in a flap,’ announced Biggles. ‘You needn’t come if you don’t want to. That goes for everyone.’

I think the only time Biggles has these particular conversations with Algy about how Algy needn't come is when it comes to the Erich rescues XD It's glaringly obvious how personal it is for him.
