"Motorists could have been forgiven for thinking the country had been invaded when they got stuck behind a convoy of 50 French military vehicles on Westcountry roads.
However, they might have been even more disconcerted had they known that the 'invasion' occurred without our maritime defence force, the Royal Navy, even being aware of the French forces' arrival until the visiting military commanders contacted our police.
The unexpected arrival of French military vehicles caught Plymouth police and the Royal Navy by surprise."
