Customs

Is just filing the flight plan adequate for customs notice?

Cherbourg

Custom at arrival, lot of headhack ... WELCOME !

Very, very bad souvenirs due to the Custom's welcome.

Either, bar/restaurant/shop: EXCELLENT ambiance, nice & friendly people.

Still, I'll avoid Cherbourg due to custom.

VOR DVL not functioning

Routing via DVL back to UK on Friday 30th Sept 11 this beacon wasn't working however, can't find any Notam regarding temp u/s ? With feq 110.20 had an increasing distance rather than decrease when approaching. The indent wasn't clear and maybe was TST (test)

A charming liitle airport

A very charming little airport with a friendly restaurant where in summer you can have lunch and dinner. No landing fee! Do land on the grass strip right next to the hard-surfaced runway with potholes which hasn't been used since World War II.

A taxi takes you to close-by St Valery for EU 10,00. Well worth a visit!

Nice airport. I have flown there several times with our friend in a Fournier RF5.

Went to the north (Cherbourg ) and the south ( Le Mont Saint Michel ).

Used for holiday traffic from Yersey (GB ) and internal from france.

Also 4 motor hanggliders for tourists.
