Passport to the world.
Look what has found the light of day from the vaults! It is my first ever passport dating from July 1967.
Rather than a full passport lasting 10 years, this was known as a British Visitors Passport, was printed on lightweight card and was valid for just one year. Inside it gives my full name, date of birth, place of birth, height, colour of eyes, distinguishing marks and home address. There is my photo and my signature.
For foreign exchange purposes, it shows the National Provincial Bank issued me with £45. If I remember correctly, that was £5 less than the maximum £50 set by the government for an individual travelling abroad.
There is just a single stamp in the passport, dated 5th August 1967, at the port of Ostend, Belgium.
(Note : Even though it is more than 50 years later, for security reasons I have blanked out certain details, just to be on the safe side)
