My understanding is that as it's on the civil register, it has to be maintained by a CAA-recognised/licenced body. The military aren't.

Does that extend to the location where the work is carried out as well? Would surely be cheaper and save hours on the airframe if a CAA man and his van drove to Yeovilton.
