The Beagle Pup is stuck in this limbo where it has a TC owner (De Havilland Support) yet the vast majority of Pup owners would rather operate on a Permit. DHS have a supply of expensive spare parts that would dramatically decrease in value if Pup's became LAA aircraft. They would get more sympathy if their spares were fairly priced, I suspect. It happened to Austers so there may be hope for Pups yet.
