Ergo... is it unsafe in the UK to fly a warrior II at 2400lbs in the UK?

Ah.... okay it was a genuine question to which I knew there would be a legitimate answer or you wouldnt have posted what you did, although I didnt want to assume you and FF were refering to the same thing .
My original point though is not referring to legally approved ferry pilot ops but to run of the mill GA & how / why do some people appear to operate aircraft significantly overwieight.

I don't know that many people do operate significantly overweight, I certainly don't, but I do think people regularly may be a bit over. If an aircraft can be legally flown 25% overweight then this isn't because the ferry pilot has magical powers, it is that the aircraft will stand it. Flying 25% over must be really horrible and not something you want to make a habit of, but 3% makes virtually no difference although that doesn't mean I would do it unthinkingly.
