Yeh, confusion indeed - A 59 year old UK resident with a UK PPL and an FAA add on based on his EASA license is what we're talking about - can I suggest that you read up on the EASA regulations which apply in this case - particularly on the examples you gave. Getting back to the point raised i.e. hour building - the pilot in this case had plenty of hours.
