Harsh, Whopity.
Slopey is not "unaware" of the requirement to carry a C of A - he explicitly mentioned it in his post. He also knows about the requirement for an ELT/PLB since, if he didn't before, I told him so at 11:01!
BillieBob, how do you know it's an EASA aircraft? (Probably is, but might not be).
PPRuNe has a reputation for "robust" responses - some of them may be because the responder didn't RTFQ properly.
Slopey, enjoy your trip to France.
