Having spent ages finding out what counts towards the initial PPL and then what counts for keeping current I came to the conclusion that for an EASA PPL you need hours in an EASA (old Group A) aircraft.
According to this recent article I was wrong:

So does this mean I can use a microlight (under SEP preivileges) to keep current?
Potentially, could I also count some previous microlight hours towards the PPL?
