World Air Games

Peter,

This sounds fantastic!!!

I'm late picking up on it because I don't sign on to the forum very often. To be honest, I also find the negativity and back-biting expressed by certain people is a little depressing.

Thank you to Brian and Mark

Importing a Homebuilt

I am currently in the process of importing a Falco from the USA.

The aircraft will be ferry flown from Florida directly to Spanhoe. Has anyone imported a homebuilt aircraft before and are there any paperwork issues that I need to be particularly aware of??

Thanks in advance for your help
