I don't know but used to assume that homebriefing addressed 'correctly' until I had a Y plan go wrong. My transition to VFR was supposed to be around Dover (I was struggling to get it accepted out of Venice and Ying at DVR made it work??) coming in from KONAN. I got my SMSed ACK and a small amendment - then flew a much more Southerly route until I was handed over to London by French ATC, due South of Gatwick, 40 miles still to run to the French coast (i.e. 150 miles and 90 degrees from where I flight planned to change to VFR)
Something went wrong somewhere because London's normally cheerful greeting was 'Who?... Where are you??... I don't have a strip...Is that you squawking 2601?... Damn that's nowhere near my airspace... standby let me find someone for you to talk to'
