Do I correctly get the impression that the only practical way of getting the UK medical back, is to do an in person renewal medical, and not try to convert the non UK EASA medical?
I'm at the same stage of having paid for conversion of the EASA medical (UK ame), got a "received" email and nothing more after about 6 weeks. No requests from CAA for more documents, such as ame certificates or ECGs, and frankly it would be totally impractical to source these anyway, but I get the feeling I'm in the "ignore" pile.
