Hi Sue,
We have friends near Brive and so we are planning to fly down to LFBV on Sunday from EGBJ via DVR, ING stopping for customs at LFRG then via Le Mans, Le Blanc, your NDB LOE and then Brive. The flight is VFR.
I was wondering is it possible to fly direct VFR say from Deauville to destination? via Airways VFR? or is it easier to just remain clear of controlled airspace, as you can see the route is not really direct.
Later on I plan to go Isle of Wight Cherbourg but I am still running the aircraft in (10 hours) so I am going for the shortest sea crossing.
The aircraft is on a Permit so is day VFR only.
Having written the above, in essence what's the most efficient way of getting from Calais to Brive, VFR?
A customs option could be Limoges so we could meet if the douane could be arranged on a Sunday?
Do you know anyone at Brive who speaks English, I am trying to organise hangarage for a week from Sunday 31st Aug as I am concerned about your famous hail storms denting my nice new paintwork.
If I cant hangar at Brive do you have anything at Limoges for an RV7.
Finally what's the score on landing fees and fuel payment do most places take VISA?
Brive seems only to accept cash or an SFACT voucher whatever that is. Sorry about my ignorance but I am unused to VFR operations in France.
In any event Anna and I may drop in and say hi if you don't mind and time permits or certainly if customs are available would Sunday PM be okay?
Thanks in anticipation
