I remember many many moons ago posted back from Bruggen and as the trooper left Wildenrath the day after my return posting (no car), they came up with the bright Idea that I would travel to HAMBURG with all my bags courtesy of German Rail and bus services to catch a flight back to Luton from there........
it was almost less distance to my next posting in the UK than it was to Hamburg....
needless to say that plan fell flat when I was a bad lad on the last night and eventually I came back via Wildenrath and the RAF coach service between the two stations.
