Europa-List: FW: Mode S Transponders

[Alan Burrows <alan@kestrelinsurance.com>]

Hi All

Having been away in the U.S. for the last 6 months I am somewhat behind the
curve with regard to the Mode S situation.
Can anyone tell me if I actually need to fit this piece of kit right now or
not?
I have tried reading the CAA website, but quite frankly I am even more
confused. I want to fly both VFR and IFR so can someone please help 
Do I need it or not 
Many Thanks

Alan
