I'm sure it did Bill, much longer than it would take today.
RAF Valley is roughly 116 miles from where I now live, and even with the 'new' roads, including the 'Expressway' across the island of Angelsey, it takes around two and half to three hours to get there.
Travelling up or down the UK today is not too bad, but travelling across the country can take some time. Parts of East Anglia, for example, have hardly changed in 100 years - some of the 'old' roads are still the major routes, although most have been widened now of course - and many of the WW2 airfield locations are still in 'the middle of nowhere' !
