More information - apparently the flight was part of a French customs surveillance operation.

Another source ( Ouest France ) indicate the a/c was leased from Luxembourg by the French Civil intelligence service DGSE and Military Intelligence DRM . Looking at the intended destination this does not sound like Customs surveillance.

I had not heard of CAE previously. So am basically interested how the government and military might be seemingly flouting EASA hire and reward regulations with an N reg'd aircraft.
Clearly the French were paying for this through a "lease" arrangement. I mean we either have rules, or we don't. Or am I jumping the gun a little?

If the aircraft is being paid for then it is hire and reward surely? If that is the case, aircraft should be EASA. It should not matter if this is special operations.
Again, if special operations can evade this requirement then fair enough. However, it should not. In my view of course.

LGW Vulture :
DRM ( French military intelligence service) recognized now they chartered the aircraft.
The company :
CAE-AVIATION - Airborne Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Services - Army Technology
