John asked if we fancied Le Touquet...as we hadn't been there for a while.
Customs (GAR) and Flight plans were filed by Rob & Paul and we all met at the field 0930Z.
So, five up in the Six!.....LFAT via Lydd (for fuel as we were heavy).

Landing 03 at Lydd.....used to be 04
Refuelling....If leaving the UK, you can purchase fuel Tax Free at Lydd (saves sending off a drawback form)
...and they've dropped the landing fee to a sensible price at £7.50
200 litres of fuel + landing fee = £150
