8 weeks to transfer my pilot licence too: unfortunately it takes very long for the UK CAA to release the required paperwork for license transfer (doc 155). They are simply overwhelmed.
So please remind us how long the CAA took to move bits of paper before the Brexit thingee...... What evidence do you have of them being overwhelmed???? Telsboy's post is bang on. The sun will rise on 30th March. The EU has already passed enabling regulations for aircraft to continue to fly. Lettuces will continue to arrive from Spain
