Unless you are a legitimate aviation busines forget it. By aviation I mean genuine AOC or flying school operator.

Not only are you unlikely to get away with it, you are also opening yourself up to a one of the regular "envy" visits from HMCR.

Have a search aorund for the guy who bought a new DA40 TDI and had to sell it after a visit from the revenue guys. Running an avaiation group will not cut the mustard.

If you are importing new (or used) to Europe you could come in via Denmark and PAY 0% VAT.
