If they werent allowed to fly out of the uk, they wont be allowed to fly back, same rules apply if they come and visit.

And I would want to organise the trip back, staging though how many countries ?
All the spares needed, tyres, brakes, Avpin, oils, chutes at each landing stage ,
No inflight refueling, ummmmm

The cost would be sky high, best thing to do is get out to Cape Town its the only way

Flying lawyer, lovely pics, 693 was always the 'Looker'

The one reheat thing could be one of many things, the lightnings reheat system is a nightmare, never 100%, its just one of the things, and at 3.5 gallons per second for each engine, no it aint cheap

Cheers
