IO540,
In passing through this thread, I saw your comment regarding a G-reg aircraft being able to be flown worldwide on an ICAO license.
As a PPL on an Australian license, I was surprised by this as I'd always been told that I couldn't take a G-reg aircraft out of the UK. I was aware of the "no IFR in CAS" restriction, but that isn't a real problem for me.
Thank you so much for your reference to the relevant chapter and verse in the ANO - this clearly contradicts what I had been told by various instructors (and I have to say the CAA on one occasion in the dim and distant past) - so I'm very happy and might contemplate a trip to France to celebrate ... if the weather ever gets near VFR conditions!
Paul.
