Day trips to the Continent from Lydd Airport in 1967


Writing about Malcolm Saville and Lydd Airport a few years ago, I said:
I have a guide book to Rye, the relic of a family holiday in a caravan on Winchelsea Beach in 1967 - yes, readers, I remember the Summer of Love. In it there is a British United Air Ferries advertisement featuring return trips to Ostend and Le Touquet for 71/-.
And here is that very ad. There's more about British United Air Ferries on Wikipedia.

My wife tells me that as a girl her family used to take their car across the Channel by plane using this very service.
