FD,

We'll be going in two super cubs, both with transponders!

Unfortunately, the route from Portland Bill to Cap de la Hague crosses the CI Class A by my reading of the map. It would actually be simpler for us to go from Start Point, but it's a reasonable amount longer and we are in VERY slow aircraft! Anyway, we'll only go the long way if it's really nice.

Planning to go to the French piper club annual meeting near Lisieux, then meander down to Switzerland. Looking at the French maps the place is criss-crossed with 800-1500 ft 'ASFC' fast jet lanes. But what does 'ASFC' mean? If it's AGL, precvisely which ground level does it refer to?

No doubt telling you that seacrossings without an AI can be a bit of a pain in the proverbial, is like teaching granny to suck eggs, but just in case.............
Have got a pucker AI and full blind-flying 'T' set of instruments. As so often with the Super Cub, however, the capabilities of the aircraft far exceed those of its pilot. Like I say, it'll have to be really nice for us to go the long way.
