I read the recent threads from DFC, IO540 and Scooter boy with great interest but with respect feel they may be missing the real point. Which is, to work together to create a rational and professional case to enable certain UK CAA Permit aircraft to operate Night and IFR in the UK. Sure, there may be some give and take to achieve this, but that's the reality of life. The game has moved on significantly in the last decade!
I'd truely welcome any and all support to help make this a reality; please PM me and I'll be please to talk it over.
