of course it is . Do it all time.
as to the 5000ft , on a VFR flight plan you do not have to file the RFL, just write VFR and you can select the alt yourself, 5000 ft . Now above Jersey is class D , permeable to VFR with transponder , but it is Class A above FL80 . There it is IFR only.
I am still puzzled buy the flight plan specially since the Nantes airport spoke person clearly said on the first day the plan was IFR. but OK we'll soon see who is right.
If indeed he filed and flew VFR on that wx at night then it is truly unbelievable ! .
