“The UK has it's own approach to airworthiness,”
The LAA system has a lot going for it but it looks at each aircraft as a one off most of the time. This leads to them being far too mod happy for me. If you have a small fleet in the UK and a huge fleet outside I think we need to look at what is working in a grand scale. I was involved in a mod on a commercial jet engine to make it less susceptible to sand damage. It cost a lot to design and model, but caused a new set of issues which took years to iron out. Even with huge resources available it is not always easy to know if a mod is going to do more harm than good.
