I'd also suggest that any aircraft, especially a light aircraft, kept in the UK long term, but still on the American register, needs more careful oversight. What are the underlying reasons, justifications for that? I'd expect the CAA to check on that, at least
Not understandable, actually. It may be easy for an organisation (particularly, it always seems, a public one) to go for the "Low hanging fruit" in enforcement, to find documents signed in the wrong box and such like, and to turn blind eyes to what everyone else sees as obvious transgressions. But it shouldn't be.
