Ive just looked at CAP 747. There seems to be a mark in the margin against Luscombes, as thought something has changed for them- maybe the CAA just spelt the name wrong the last time!
Aeroncas does seem an odd submission, although the C3, 100 and K models are in anex II but no model 7s (Champs) or Model 11 (chiefs) Another oddity is that PA-11 Cub specials, PA-15/17 Vagabonds are also missing from Anex II.
On the other hand it seems strange that aircraft such as the Beagle Pup are in Anex II. Never a military aircraft and always on a C of A.
I guess just about anything produced before WW2 can claim to have had some military service as most aircraft were impressed into service, pity some of the post war aircraft like the Vagabond cant claim that.
It does seem strange that the Aeronca Champ isnt included as many were produced as L-16s and previously the L-3 and Defender. All basically coming from the same design.

At least the Cub is in there so I am happy, but I imagine there are quite a few unhappy Jodel owners, not exaclty knowing their future on a permit.

PFA engineering are working hard on all of this, so hopefully it will be sorted out to everyone's benefit.
