A Memory of Lydd.
I was tour-ex from RAF Butzweilerhof (Cologne) in September 1961 and didn't fancy a sea crossing so I booked my passage on the air ferry. Everything went smoothly and quickly once I got to Ostend but the overnight trip from Cologne is a different story. I had learned to drive in Germany and hadn't been in the UK for 2 1/2 years. The result was that, as I left Lydd airport I drove round the roundabout the wrong way! However, by the time I had reached Edinburgh two days later (no motorways then - the Doncaster bypass had opened a few days before), I had settled in to the British way. I took and passed my UK driving test 2 days later.
