The majority of these are in the upper echelons of private light aircraft operations. Most countries in the world impose a time limit on how long a foreign based aircraft can operate internally. Many are pilots flying on a piggyback US licence.
Apart from pilot licensing and maintenance these aircraft are usually operating behind trusts therefore disguising the beneficial owners.
I have written to my MP to raise this matter in the Commons.
Mike - you sound the like the kind of person who grassed on their neighbour during lockdown for leaving the house more than once each day.
