Puzzle ZNHQ

My BrainBashers electronic world atlas has developed another fault.

I listed five countries, and how far away each was from England, and here are the results:
Australia     500 miles
Peru        8,000 miles
India       4,500 miles
Scotland    9,500 miles
France        {?} miles

Can you work out the distance to France?
