Thanks. I am going to do all the form filling today in line with other commitments.

I normally fly south through Kent and the South East and direct across the channel but thinking if I should go inland via Le Havre and route around the shoreline till CAEN?

Scenic route?

I've got a complete document prepared by a French Pilot - regarding the 'useful' French phrases etc.

Thanks for that, very useful indeed! Hopefully it won't happen but you never know!
