WADR it’s not just about movement of people but also goods, as I I’ll try to illustrate from personal experience with importing 3 Saab aircraft that were originally manufactured outside of the EU in Sweden.
1982 – Saab Safir imported from Norway; flown on NATO documentation by two serving Norwegian Air Force officers; the paperwork was very detailed, but thankfully it was dealt with by the personnel in Norway – albeit I was still arguing with UK authorities in the guard room at RAF Waddington 30 minutes before the Safir touched down.
1994 – Saab Draken imported from Denmark; flown on NATO documentation, but only after carnet paperwork was raised and appropriate fees were paid / deposit lodged at the Nottingham Chamber of Commerce to cover the necessary import documentation.
2006 (Sweden now a member of the EU) – Saab Viggen imported from Sweden; flown on Swedish AF documentation after a short End-User certificate was drafted on museum letter head.
