Car Ferry

The Mk32 carried 3cars,the Mk 21 only 2 turnround time 15mins.
A weight and balance table for most types of car meant a quick check and the dimensions of cars was know.
However a large American Limo was loaded but the driver was unable to open the door so flew across to France and drove the car off.
Altitude outbound was 1000ft and inbound 1500ft at around 100kts I think.
Lydd had Decca 424 Radar for SRA and Le Touquet had VHF/DF.
