I have read an in depth and reasoned argument in Todays Pilot for May (available on 31st March ??) for an experimental classification C of A for the U.K.
Where would this differ from Class B conditions?
Are class B registrations still lawfull? I remember a lot of 748s flying as G-11-xx but don’t recall any recently.
Be lucky

Hi BlueRobin
“It’s all JAR-come-EASA now, CS23 covers MTOM <5700KG, CS25 >5700KG MTOM. Both cats are roughly equal to the American FAR23/FAR25 regs.
If Britain wants it, I guess they must get Europe to want it also?”
NO
The proposals to introduce an Experimental category in the UK to allow experimental prototypes and experimental modifications to be flown (for test purposes only, and without passengers) without the burden of an airworthiness investigation. This follows the widely-reported paper on the decline in the UK light aircraft industry which was produced last year by the General Aviation Group of the Royal Aeronautical Society, which cited over-regulation as one reason for the decline. It is hoped that introducing such a category might allow the UK to compete more effectively with other countries where light aircraft manufacturing is booming.
