A very important MEP visited yestoday a FLY-IN of HISTORICAL AIRPLANE acompagniet by a
Expert of a NATIONAL CAA
Afterwarts whe had a very long and intresting conversation in witch I was abel to inform hem thad
there is a urgent need to develop the required EU enviroment to protect the HISTORICAL
AVIATION ENVIROMENT
The advise of the NATIONAL EXPERT was very negative since he is promoting thad al the
HISTORICAL AIRCRAFT schould be made avaible in a MUSEUM in a NON FLYING
STATUS
I have strongly contested this vieuw I accept thad there schould be financial means avaible to place a
number of AIRCRAFT in the MUSEA
BUT there is urgent need to create the REGULATION to make it possible for SME,NPO or
INDIVIDUAL PERSONS to keep HISTORICAL AIRCRAFT avaible in FLYING STATUS
The EXPERT claim there are to many accidents with this old fashion aircraft but could not suply any
concrete figures of the number of accidents in relation to the number of historical aircraft operating in
the 27 EU memberstates
CONCLUSION:
IF REELECTED ????? the MEP is going to propose the STOA to make a STUDY on the activity of the HISTORICAL AIRCRAFT in the 27 EU memberstates
VISITING the USA, CANADA and AUSTRALIA to colect aditional information
He wil keep regular contacts on a personnel level
Develop contacts on this subject with
