Insurance - could I be held liable?

Hello,

I've been asked to convoy a light twin from UK to Africa. The buyer is arranging the insurance. He rang me and asked how many hours I had on the particular light twin. I replied truthfuly that I had never flown that particular model (but have several thousand hours on other light twins). He then said, "oh, but we'll have to put ten hours or down on it, otherwise we won't be able to get the insurance". I told him that I wouldn't accept that, and that he would have to tell the truth to the insurer. We argued a bit, then he eventually appeared to accept my argument.

However, I am concerned that he might have still pretended to the Insurer that I have previously flown the type, and is merely pretending to accept my argument.

If this is the case, will the insurance be invalid, and worse could I be held personally liable? Unfortunately I will not be able to check the terms and conditions until I get to the UK.
