Surely the Brits wouldn't torture you or anything? I mean, everyone
knows that a glider doesn't have an engine, so has to go where the

If things got tough, couldn't you try the Corrigan Defense? "I was
trying to fly to Sweden but my compass was wrong."

Well, I suppose they could make you pay VAT on your illegal import....
