Easy enough for slices:
     class Dummy(np.ndarray):
         def __new__(cls, array):
           obj=array.view(cls)
           return obj
         def __getslice__(self, i, j):
             return np.ndarray.__getslice__(self, i, j).view(np.ndarray)

For views, the problem needs to be better described: why would you  
want to get just a basic ndarray ?
