French Gendarmerie Helicopter in Chamonix Rescues Skier

When I did my EASA PPL flight test in the UK, my examiner convinced me to incoude in the plan a flight into French airpsace so I cousl experience another country's procedures. Once I agreed, we plotted a course to coast out over Folestone to Calais.. "It is the shortest route - if we have an engine failure, we will turn back and head to British waters.. The UK doesn't charge for SAR... the French do..."
