Of course.
But remember the often-present “unintended consequences” of well-meaning laws, rules and regulations.
Bureaucracy doesn’t leave much room for “common sense”…rules are rules whether they make sense in particular applications or not.

There are plenty of examples out there, many/most of which aren’t favorable to warbirds and old aircraft.

I agree – By a common sense approach I meant that the bureaucrats need to realise that there are many occassions when shipping “weapons” between countries (particularly older “weapons”) doesn’t mean that they are moving to be sold for war-like purposes and this should be taken into account when the legislation is written but, of course, that is unlikelty to happen and will, almost inevitably, lead to problems for museums and private owners of historic “weapons”.

The story of some of the “Biafra” airframes is covered in the book “Shadows” but I don’t doubt there are many other stories which, unfortunately, can’t be told in a public place.
