That's horrible. It sounds like you guys are in a real "Catch 22" situation. I don't know anything about French law or politics, but here in the United States, when somebody is not receiving justice or is subject to an unfair interpretation of the law, we get Congressmen and Senators (politicians) involved. They have, in the past, got the U.S. Navy to overturn their assasinine rules about aircraft salvage. Lex Cralley, a.k.a. "Pirate Lex", Wix member here, got his Brewster Corsair because of Congressional involvement. Why can't the Pink Lady group start lobbying the French politicians to grant an exemption or exception to those assasinine French laws you have?

The situaton in the UK is if you wish to operate an ex-military aircarft it must be UK registered if you wish to continue to fly it after a period of 28 days has elapsed. If a US registered aircraft comes over for an airshow such as Flying Legends then that is fine so long as its not an extended stay. Aircraft that have been restored in the US and registered there must be re-registered in the UK if they are imported and are to remain in the UK. The days of N registered permit (ex military) aircraft residing in the UK are sadly over.warbird1 wrote:Good news, although only temporary. A quick question. Why can't "Pink Lady" be registered in another country that doesn't have those archaic rules and just be "based" in France? Surely, there has to be some country in Europe or North Africa that is not subject to those assasine regulations? Cruise ships do it all the time to take advantage of cheaper taxes and laxer rules, so why can't airplanes?
