A NEWS AGENCY REPORT that one of these 11 Comex 2 Commonwealth Expedition to India Duple coaches overturned before the convoy reached Kabul, Afghanistan, this weekend caused a flood of anxious phone calls to London expedition headquarters.
But a spokesman told COMMERCIAL MOTOR: "All that happened was that after a storm one coach was stuck in the mud for about
half an hour on the way to Kabul. It arrived, of course, with its passengers completely unscathed, about 30 minutes behind schedule".
The coaches-29-passenger Vista 25 bodies mounted on Bedford VAS chassis—left Britain on July 19 with 330 Commonwealth students and will cover 15,000 miles. They are due back on October 3.
