Well, he became part of the military when he joined SHADO .. and I
suppose as an unorthodox, special branch of the military, they had
the power to give out senior commissions to new recruits!

I don't remember seeing a scene with a Mobile and an actor in the same
frame .. actually I vaguely remember a conversation about this from
a few years ago. I think we concluded that part of a Mobile was never
actually shown in the same shot as an actor.
