Do beg your pardon, when I did watch the episode I thought oops as i saw the N reg,
With regard to N reg a/c flying around UK and European airspace, I thought about 3 years back that EASA and JAA and our local CAA were going to wind down or not so much but discourage foreign reg A/C operating in UK airspace?

Vee Any covered this item adequately.
Many of you out there will know that a couple of years back the CAA prosecuted me for flying an N reg MD 500 on PT work without D of T permission. Had I obtained permission - no prosecution on that item.
In court the CAA lawyer, said simply that HAD I asked for permission I would have got it and that there were no safety implications.
Court result: Case discharged by the Launceston magistrates but I was required to pick up £2,500 of CAA costs out of a requested £6,000.
Moral. Get D of T permission.
