We can fly anywhere we please (Outside of airways / danger areas etc., of course)

Many of us pop across the English Channel on day trips, usually to Le Touquet (Nearest customs field to the UK). Suddenly you are in a country where they speak a different language, use different currency and generally speaking dress and cook better than we do.

But there is nothing to stop you keeping on going. I’ve taken the Colt to Italy. Friends regularly travel to Spain, Belgium, Holland, Germany.

No custome formalities outbound, just the need to land at an airfield in Europe that has, or can provide Customs. They usually don’t turn up, aren’t remotely interested. After that there are few formalities until your return, when you must notify UK Customs of your return to the strip. Here they have never turned up.

This is when the small expense of a share in an aircraft like mine starts to payback a hundredfold. 🙂
