UK overflight of non ICAO compliant permit to fly aircraft
Further to successive recommendations by the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC), the CAA now allows both foreign home built aircraft and certain historic foreign registered aircraft types allowed into the UK without applying for a permit.
Information on this general exemption is published in Official Record Series 4 ORS4 No.1249.

long overdue! the same way Belgium wouldn’t allow home builds from the UK to land without paying for a permit until this year,
so never landed just cruised over and landed elsewhere, it might bring in some extra revenue for UK airfields,

What is all the fuss about? The UK has always honoured the 1980 ECAC agreement on homebuilts. The exemption was previously in ORS4 No. 909. Only the inclusion of certain historic military aircraft is new.
