There is a Manx registry - M-reg. It was set up a few years ago and
funnily enough is run by a former UK CAA man.

I think pilots based on the IOM (M-reg aircraft) will probably be
protected from this attack. But much depends on the details - if as I
said earlier they hang it on EU citizen****p that will be a problem
because most Manx residents have EU pass****ts.

Unfortunately, to get an M registration you need to either live there

or the plane has to be over 5700kg. Just like the other "jet"
registries Cayman, Bermuda, Aruba, etc.

What is an MHK?
