Thanks Whopity! I guess I will have to make a trip to Europe for that then... I was under the impression that there was a way to send UKCAA some forms, copy of flight check signed by local examiner and a copy of Logbook where it shows I am currently flying ME etc... and they would renew my ME/IR on my EASA license (i think with some kind of restriction, but nevertheless renewed)...I think I read this here a while ago on PPRUNE but cannot find it anymore...but thanks for the help. Appreciate it!
