Thanks for all the helpful replies people.

I was aware of the noseleg checks from my PPL days on AA-5As and remember my instructor saying to look out for purple stains on the trailing edges which were the tell tale marks for delamination.

My major concern is the cost of operating under a CAMO as some of the costs that generous forumites have shared are quite eye watering compared to operating under Annex II with it's greater flexibility of engineering providers. Well at least for the Annual, I've yet to do a C of A renewal which will entail the bird being held captive in a strange hangar!

Victor Golf, YLA is still in pole position (see above) and I've got some interest from NZ about the mortal remains of ZMN as well.
