"I'm a British citizen but I hold an FAA PPL. Am I allowed to fly a European registered aircraft in Europe"

Well I am a British citizen with a British registered C172 and a British PPL valid for life BUT from April 2014 it will be illigal to fly my own aircraft unless i have converted my valid for life PPL to a 5 year very costly EASA licence !!!!
Bureaucratic control, over-taxation and loss of freedom. Time for another tea party, methinks. Resistance is not always futile...

Sad. Sorry folks. Hopefully, we in America will break the trend this November before its too late.
