Personally I flew from Bournemouth many times back in the day and Cherbourg if coming home, if it was night sailing out you were put in a hotel and flew the next morning, this was done by Aurigney air lines from Alderney and the twin engine aircraft push, pull engines funny set up IIRC 5 drivers and pilot only 12 allowed on boat. and a mad taxi driver in Cherbourg with an extended merc taxi, Mary Hopkins moments them Buzzer.
