Our convoy of vehicles of assorted shapes and sizes left at 1000 hours by road for the new camps. A farewell message from the Officer Commanding 223 Squadron, Wing Commander Roulston, reading :"GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY LANDINGS TO YOU ALL", sped us on our way. We responded with "VEELS GELUK" and "TOTSIENS".
The convoy made good progress and there were no heavy delays a steady pace of just on 20 miles per hour being maintained.
