In the sixties I ‘indulged’ (are they still called Indulgence Flights’ ?) twice by Argosy from Benson to Gatow and back. It was so cheap, I think, certainly, less than £10 return. Couldn’t understand why more people didn’t do it.I took my uniform and visited East Berlin on each occasion and managed to stay each time at Edinburgh House.
Later when I was based in W Germany I also went by road and by the Military Train.
