Was wondering what the state of play is currently in Europe with regard to flying N reg (or waiver) in Europe/Channel Islands/Ireland or whatever. UK citizen now operating on FAA ATPL ... had CAA version many years back but now expired and no wish to re-do JAA with only a few years left flying (age)... missing Europe like a mistress... especially with the Ashes test going on.
8000+ hrs worldwide (turbo-prop)....

Is this a trick question? Or maybe a joke, or are you taking the ****?

What reason do you have for such an inane response cw ? I've had a number of colleagues operating N Reg a/c on FAA licenses in Europe over the years...
Many N Reg a/c are based in Europe. I believe RyanAir are accepting FAA licensed crew... not that I'd go that route even if I wasn't an old f*rt.

Yes you can still fly an "N" reg aircraft with your FAA licence in Europe, and you can get an Isle of Man, Cayman,or Burmuda validation with it, and then fly on those registrations in Europe.
But if your next question is "are there any jobs", then....................................
