Car Ferry Timetable from Blexen to Bremerhaven.   Very useful shortcut if either returning a car to UK from Bremerhaven or collecting a car imported from outside Germany via Bremerhaven.   A trip many a proud owner made when buying a new car in Germany.   There was no UK tax to pay on a new car if you kept it abroad for one year.   That was why, when the squadrons disbanded so many pilots were kept on until their cars had qualified for the one year.   This caused a backlog of new pilots coming in to RAF Germany.   Mick Ryan was one who on arrival found that there had not been a new pilot officer for about 18 months.   (Thanks to Brian Butterworth.)
