I think he meant:
If I fly an N-registered aircraft on a FAA Private Certificate - either one issued on the basis of a JAA PPL or a standalone one issued by passing a flight test - can I then fly this aircraft in UK airspace in IMC using the UK-issued IMC rating? Or does this mean that I cannot fly N-registered aircraft in IMC at all in the UK without an Instrument Rating?
Here are some punctuation marks. Feel free to keep them, for next time.
