UK FCL945 ?

So, a year ago when the world was simpler, I had a UK national licence with CRI/FCL945 on it, and a UK EASA-FCL licence with CRI/FCL945 on it.

Since then, my EASA licence is now Irish, and that nation, not being great fans of it, have deleted the FCL945. Fine, mildly irritating, but I can live with that.

I also had my national licence re-issued with a new rating, and when it came back, whilst CRI is still on it, FCL945 is not. It came with a handy little card explaining my instructor privileges, but FCL945 isn't mentioned there. No explanation for its deletion was offered.

Soooooo, what's the UK position on FCL945 now? No doubting that I can instruct licenced pilots on appropriate G-reg aeroplanes: with my Irish licence for part 21 aeroplanes, and with either licence on national aeroplanes.

But, do I have part 945 privileges when instructing British pilots in British aeroplanes? Are all instructors assumed to have this now, or do I not have the privilege at-all?

Anybody know?
