It depends what other people do now or did in the past with “club aircrafts”? I flew in one aeroclub east Paris where oldies did VFR trips to Norway & Egypt in DR180, I don’t think they had issue with two rookie pilots taking it for few weeks to Netherlands or Morocco, as long as one had money & qualifications, sadly not much money back then nor qualifications neither
Same thing in my Mooney group, one member flew it to Oshkosh and other member twice to South-Africa, so I did not have to debate how many angels can dance on the head of a pin (or “sex des anges”) when taking it to Barra Beach, different experience to renting from hour building schools
I flew in one club where policy was not to take vintage aircrafts outside UK, turns out none of the oldies (the kind who walk in jet fighters suits flying wood & fabric) had never flew past the English channel, same thing flying TMG in gliding club: going over London City airport, +FL120 or down to Pyrenees did not look healtly to powerful but non-experienced members…
You will find it’s about other people past experiences, flying profile & budget than aircraft capabilities or club rules, in my grass strip, the microlight/ULM guys fly all over Europe every summer, last year it was Norway

That’s quite a rental / club fleet ! Pretty amazing flightline.

Wow, where is this club located – do they have a webpage?
I think you mixed with @Gallois. I have a feeling this club is at LFRB Brest.
Exactly.
You can do that if there is
I think there are very few candidate locations in Europe.
