consider the future very carefully

Agreed, and that's what I said too.

Your worldwide flying rights will always be protected by ICAO. The worst that UK can do to you is take away your long term UK parking rights.

Remember that's what the DfT kicking-out proposal was 100% about: long term UK parking rights. Similarly, all that EASA can do is ban long term N-reg parking in EASA-land.

They can't take away your FAA license/rating privileges. Only the FAA can do that. An ICAO state can in theory ban its citizens exercising foreign license privileges in its airspace, but that's it. And that's not been done yet, to my knowledge - would have certain side effects...

They can't come along and smash up your N-reg plane, or smash up the GPS in it which is not EASA certified.

If EASA did ban long term parking, the N-reg owner would have to examine his options and act accordingly. That's OK, because you have kept your options open - haven't you??
