Taking my Whites 4 to the UK ???

[Dig Daddy]

Hey guys, Family and I are going to visit some friends (US Citizens, working for BAE) in southern England. I wanna take my MD. I have researched and read some, everything points to OK... But, wanna hear it from you guys. I haven't called the airline yet as we haven't decided on a carrier yet. Should I take my MD apart and just carry the elecs as carry-on? Put whole thing (broken down) in a hard case and chk it? I'm not taking tools, will get there. Anyone been to the UK and brought finds back? I know there something like a 100 yr old rule your not suppose to bring it out of the UK before having it chk'd and such. Any advice would be great...

I travel all the time with mine
always carry them on now
had one suitcase totally squashed (fell off tug wagon on tarmack and next tug ran it over and one was lost and
I lost 2 days on detecting till they found it
so if you can get small whites hardcase -would be good

I always carry the electronics and pack the shaft. No problems.
