Hello Gilles,
The whole of CAP455 (1.5 MB) can be downloaded free from the UK CAA web site
http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/33/CAP455.PDF
Airworthiness Notice 52 explains that the previous block exemption for
foreign home-built aircraft has been superseded by splitting the requirement
into two: automatic clearance for a visit of up to 28 days may be obtained
by e-mailing the completed form set out in AN 52 to a special address;
visits of more than 28 days require special authorisation by the UK CAA.
The intention is apparently to avoid people operating "permit" aircraft in
the UK on a long-term basis without meeting the UK airworthiness standards.
You are always welcome here!
Mike
Europa Club Safety Officer

Rmi,
I forgot that the UK is hardly in the European Community ;-)))
Seriously now, where can we have a full copy of the text you referred to ?
Does it explicitly supersede the previous Exemption ?
