Mandatory insurance?
I was wondering what the rules are in regards to this around the world. Here in the US there is no requirement to be insured at all, but obviously most people are. I do know quite a few who are not, however. And I myself was briefly not before I found someone willing to insure the old heap and me.
Is there a requirement that one has to be insured in the UK? Liability alone or hull as well? What might the rules be elsewhere in Europe?

Liability insurance is required for aircraft in Canada. The details are here if you would like to read them:

Adam,
The answer to your question regarding the UK is yes. the exact detail is at Mandatory Insurance Requirements | Aircraft Register | Operations and Safety
In addition to that if you want to land at a defence (MOD) airfield you will need more than the CAA minimum

Silvaire made me think - so how do you ferry an un-airworthy aircraft from one airport with no facilities to one that has? How would you be able to so?

Why won't you get insurance? The aircraft is airworthy for the flight as specified in the ferry permit (otherwise you wouldn't get the permit). You can get insured for some pretty risky activities - it just cost money and takes effort.

Insurance is not a problem.
I ferried my 'gounded' aircraft legally. Grounded due to an MPD issued by the CAA. You need a 'ferry permit'* from the CAA, once you have that (with whatever conditions are applied) the insurance people are happy for the flight to proceed - after all the regulator has approved it.
* the paperwork was I think actually called something else - but we, CAA and I, called it a ferry permit - 'cos that is what it usedto be!
