The good news is because you have owned and used it for over 6 months you are allowed to bring it back with you as you ‘repatriate’ tax and import duty free. Simply fill out the HMRC form and they will issue you an import number which you put on the shipping docs. On the US end if there are any questions just tell them you are repositioning your aircraft and couldn’t be arsed flying it over so are shipping it instead.
Edit to add: Once it arrives get some instruction on the slight differences on the flying this side of the pond then just continue on flying and maintaining it as normal with your FAA tickets till someone says otherwise.
