I found the information throught the UKAR forums here:

But nothing in what is contained in that posting suggests an actual source that
mandates compliance for UK registered airplanes to the FAA AD. Its not a big deal because Sally B was self grounded by its operator. Perhaps the CAA has mandated compliance...I would be surprised if it did not...but all I am looking for is an actual written statement from either B-17 Preservation or the UK CAA that says such a thing. Just a fine point but worth getting it straight for posterity's sake.
CAP 747 is the relevant document, it states:
Quote:
8.1 Aircraft on the UK Register are required by law to comply with applicable Airworthiness
Directives (ADs) issued by the UK CAA, EASA, and the National Aviation Authority
(NAA) of the State of Design.
So if the FAA issues an AD, this makes it mandatory for Sally B's operators to comply with that AD. See
https://www.caa.co.uk/commercial-indust ... irectives/Part 2 of CAP 747 includes the Boeing B-17G as a Non Part-21 type and lists the USA as the state of design. See page 33 of the PDF version.
