Sowerbutt's Passenger

The drive from the airfield to Eastern Command HQ at Luton Hoo had gone without a hitch. Missionary rode a motor-bike 10 yards behind the Ford A-Model with one of Spaghetti's cousins in the sidecar. Both men were armed with revolvers, a shotgun was stashed by the cousin's feet. Sowerbutt sat in the back of the Ford and tried at first to make conversation with the visitor. But the man sat stiffly on the bench-seat, his sunken eyes staring out of the car window, not that there was much to see in the darkness. Only the occasional glimpse of light with the blackout.
Underneath his flight overalls which were left at the hangar, the visitor wore the black uniform of an Oberstgruppenführer in the SS which Sowerbutt had seen on the Pathe News was some sort of special bodyguard. He carried a black leather briefcase bearing a small golden swastika.
Nero slowed the Ford at the guard post at the main entrance to Luton Hoo. From the faint lights flickering inside the huts, they could see a beefy Redcap sergeant standing in the road, a Lee Enfield rifle slung over his shoulder, his right hand held up in a halt sign.
