Deacon refuses to board Vertibird in 'Rockets' Red Glare' quest

I think I have the same bug as described here:

"A glitch may occur if Deacon is wearing power armor where he won't board the Vertibird".

I think Deacon is injured. He is just sitting by the door. He gave me the explosive charges but he refuses to board the Vertibird. The solution mentioned on the Fandom page is to reload a previous save, but what if I don't have one? I'm playing the game on PC.

How to get rockets Red Glare in fallout 4?

This mission begins automatically after completing Precipice of War. This quest is part of the Railroad missions. After obtaining the quest from Deacon, get into Vertibird, and Tinker Tom will fly you and Deacon to the Prydwen.

Where do you plant the explosives on the Prydwen?

Now on board The Prydwen, your goal is to plant three explosives at the uppermost section of the airship. You can go in guns blazing (for lots of loot and experience), or you can try more discrete infiltration methods.
