Thanks for your response which is pretty much what I expected. The problem seems to be that the CAA had not anticipated another lockdown and thus far seems to have made no provision for the extension of SEP rating validity for those pilots whose ratings lapsed during the most recent lockdown but were not able to fly an instructional flight becuase of the lockdown restrictions.
