A detailed briefing sheet is available which aims to provide anyone who has yet to cross the Channel with all the information needed to be able to face it with confidence. I can also probably (depending a bit on where the plane originates) arrange for me or someone to fly in loose formation with any 'Channel Virgin' who would welcome that sort of support. Experienced travellers are of course also welcome to come for the fun of it or to pick up some wine or a French tarte! The Strut trip will start from Gloucester or thereabouts and aim to be in Le Touquet by 12.30 local time (11.30 BST). There we normally rent bikes at the airfield and trundle gently into town for a fine Seafood lunch. Anyone potentially interested please contact me off forum and I will send full briefing details.

However Le Touquet itself has no radar so I strongly suspect that you would get away with it, and could in any case claim that you thought it was working. Officially from this year you need mode S to travel anywhere in Europe, although most countries including France, have not yet ratified the new regulations. I have no VAT certificate and am not awareof the need to have one. The PFA quotes schedule 11 of the ANO saying that the following documents should be carried on international flights: Certificate of registration Permit to Fly & Certificate of Validity Aircraft Radio License Flight crew Licenses Procedures to follow if intercepted It has always seemed wise to me to take a copy of your insurance certificate and also a noise certificate if you have one.
