I was cateogorised comp C atlhough it would seem I should have been Comp B. It was onlythanks to my bank manager that I was cated at all.
As it happened a Comp A was going the same way so I was looked after to Manchester. I can't remember the short onward journey but I think some rules were bent.
My RTU was fun though. I had to hire a car, take maiden aunt to Berwick, drop car at Newcastle, train to Swindon via London and made the checkin with an hour or so to spare - ac u/s delayed 24hrs!
The next bit though was my unit had detached to Masirah. Landed at Akrotiri, shot out of movements, changed, packed KD & flying kit and continued to rejoin my unit.
Remember the Comp does include a return ticket.
