Hello
I am Swiss with an ICAO/EASA PPL(A) and SEP(land) with Aerobatic and Night and medical 2 and language proficiency 5 and radiotelephoy, all EASA/ICAO and current.
I own an RV-8 registered in the UK as a non-part 21 aircraft.
Apparently, based on ANO article 150, I can fly the aircraft within UK airspace with my EASA licence: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2016/765/article/150
Can I fly this aircraft with my license also in European countries and Switzerland?
Thanks!!!
I might have found some answers on the EASA Community Network.
Better news, which you prob99 knew about, for the airplane itself 
As taken from Foreign aircraft that belong to special categories
Furthermore, in application of ECAC Recommendation INT S/11-1 dated June 1980, no permit is required for entry into Switzerland for home-built aircraft that have been registered in ECAC states. However, this principle does not automatically apply to every type of operation. For example, in Switzerland foreign home-built light aircraft are not permitted to carry out flights in accordance with VFR Night and IFR unless they meet the respective Swiss requirements.
UK having signed the ECAC agreement makes you good for this part of the deal.

No problem in Norway, Sweden, Finland or Denmark.
Thanks, Dan and LeSving!
I looked into: https://www.easa.europa.eu/community/topics/aircraft-uk-registration-g
Unfortunately, if I understand this well, they don’t address non-part 21 homebuilt aircraft, which are different (see UK article 150 of ANO in my post above).
Great to know that I will be able to fly up North ;)
Suspense is still ON. A suivre…

Doesn’t that ANO 150 give you the right to fly a UK registered non-part 21 aircraft, period. It doesn’t say where you can, or cannot, fly ?

I think they say that you can fly non-Part-21 in the UK, elswhere it would be your problem… Provided you have a UK license and the aircraft is G-reg. If your license is non-UK, then you cannot fly a G-reg anywhere, at least how I understood the UK ANO & transition docs etc.

I can’t for the life of me see where it says that? All it say is you can fly this aircraft. That’s all the permission you need. Now. can you fly a UK registered homebuilt in Norway? Yes. Yes because the Norway CAA has said so in the AIP.
Everything not prohibited is permitted.
I’d strongly suggest asking UK CAA.
