Can anyone remind me if you have to DEPART France from a Customs airfield?
I know you must arrive via a suitable customs airfield (and even with
advance notice can't arrive at a non-customs airfield like you can in
the UK).
But I have vague memories from years ago of trying to arrange a time for
outbound customs at Dieppe on the way back from Chartres, and getting
the Gallic shrug and "why?". My logbook for 1997 shows Chartres -
Humberside direct, there ain't no customs at Chartres, and noone threw
me in jail, but confirmation would be nice!
