Hi Arjan
I've spoken to the curator of one of the big museums in the UK and he tells me they are having a hard time getting permission from the UK government to bring 'war trophies' back.
This isn't too surprising given the sensitive nature of the conflict and the oppositiion back home to it. The idea is not to be percieved as being triumphalist.
So... officially, from what I have been told, no one will be bringing any aircraft into this country until things cool down.
