If you put it through the Campaign Against Aviation one of two things will happen:
1) they will ban it or
2) they will take a cut
Got to love having regs quoted at you when such a phenomenal opportunity arises (I bet they are starved of cash the same as other private, non Gov, companies
) - that is why UK flying is in such a sorry (expensive) state! Is it more dangerous because they are paying or do you only get the safety brief if you pay?
Can't wait for the formation, wonderful!

It's not actually on the UK register but the Canadian one, as said as a member they are apparently part owners of the aircraft, so can fly in their own aircraft.
The regulations are being looked at and are possibly changing in the UK which will allow passenger flight in the likes of Spitfires etc. If you wish you can read them on line.

Checking on the Canadian register, its on a permit to fly, with all that entails to fly here. The CAA happy for it to do members flights, that's their call. If you wish to spend £5000 to fly for 30 minutes, that's your call.
Nutloose, do you have the link to the discussion? Seen nothing like that anywhere?

Interesting reading Nutloose, it seems the CAA will change the PtF regulations allowing operators that can set up and operate an effective CAMO the chance to self validate their aircraft and bring PtF maintenance organisation in line with PART M and additionally means to source approved parts. They haven't mentioned C of A as such allowing AOC, however such a path as they say could led to authorisation of some official commercial activity. One does hope so.
