You would also be better buying an AOC "to go" rather than trying to set one up from scratch. Even better would be to operate under the umbrella of another operators AOC.

Quote bit earlier in this thread]70 of the 845 trucks operated by Stobarts are registered in Belgium to service some of the european contracts they operate. A few others operate from Kiev......and the rest run on UK plates paying UK RFL and UK fuel duty[/QUOTE]
So I dont think we can really worry about a box of Estonian registered Antonovs arriving in the fells. Maintenance wise they run a very straight operation by all acounts and I cant see them changing that policy.
If the trucks are green and the trains blue what do you reckon on red for the aircraft ?
Be lucky
