A year or so ago I recall reading that UK DC3s had been grounded (for pax flights), by
EU rules. Now I look here and see a
pax-carrying DC3 just crashed in Germany.
Is it me (after just watching Dr Who) ? A quick look turns up:
BBC NEWS | UK | England | Dakota grounded
From June 08. To quote the video:
"...last chance anyone will ever have of taking a pleasure flight on one of these iconic planes, because from next month all passenger flights on them will be banned..."
So, WTF
Or is this another case of PITA EU rules that the UK imposes on direction from the rest of Europe who then ignore them or exempt themselves from them ?
