Perhaps you didn't recognise the "Fog in Channel" reference, but it was a paraphrase of an actual newspaper headline from the 1930s, so nothing to do with the EU or Leave/Remain, old bean.
I vaguely remember it in my GCSE history course. I wasn’t reading newspapers in the 1930s, so I’m not the quickest study
.
I still think you’re might be a little confused as to whether Europe means the EU. Read up on your geography and geopolitical history and you’ll soon work it out, old bean.
Regarding the rest, my experience of it is being thwarted by fog as a VFR pilot, and having to beat our way (expensively) back to Biggin on the Bump. Subsequent sorties to continental Europe were fabulous, both France and Belgium. And I can confirm we are linked to the same geographical continent, old fruit.
Fully back on topic!
I can’t wait to try the Caledonian again. It’ll be one damnsight cheaper than flying myself to France and back, especially with priv discount. Can’t say fairer than that.
