Shortly after L2K became pnr for customs I was there a quiet Sunday morning.
A G-Reg a/c arrived just as the customs officers put in a rare appearance.
"you haven't informed us of your intention to fly in"
No one does that do they?
"show us your passports"
No one has ever asked me before to see my passport - I've left it behind.
The pilot and 2 passengers were last seen by me being escorted to a custom's minibus and driven away.
My experience based on extensive touring in France is that the majority of the time you can ignore the regulations but if you are caught the penalties can be severe.
I would not now go to Cherbourg without pnr.
