Once on the autobahn we sped along at 96 k.p.h. towards Cologne, and by the time we pulled in at Darmstadt for a meal andl a rest we had covered a further 266 kiloms. (165 rniles) in 3 hours 45 minutes,
The • great cities Of Bonn, Coblenz, Wiesbaden and Frankfurt had been left behind, and when we left Darmstadt it was 5.30 a.m. We were no longer tired, for the vehicle has a sleeping bunk (my driver generously allowed me to use this while he organized a makeshift bed across the cab) and soon we were on our way towards Worms, our first drop.
The 60 kiloms. (37 miles) to Worms were covered in just an hour, and by 8.30 a.m. we were on the road .again, making for the big air base at Sembach. This 35-mile stretch took us about another hour, and after yet another drop we departed at 10.30 a.m. for our final destination.
