If I wanted to become current in light aircraft again, would it be possible to resurrect this licence?
Welcome back.
Look at all of the options, including just abandoning your old PPL.
The training required to get you up to standard to pass a skills test for a PPL might be more than you need, in order to get a suitable licence for the kind of flying you are most likely to do int he next ten years.
Three axis microlights, EV97 Eurostar or an LAA Permit RV7 might do it for you on either an NPPL or LAPL.
