I don't have a problem with the UK not being the state of issue, after how they have treated me to be honest I really don't want them being the issueing state. Like I said before I am slightly worried about the employability side of the coin.

Training will be slightly more difficult. I doubt very much that the UK CAA would agree to let me do some training here and have te licence issued in germany due to the fact they don't think I'm safe to fly. I don't care where I train, the only limitation I have is that I only speak english. Ireland is probably my best bet so I'm going to talk to them and see if they will accept the colourtest/full medical and if so will hopefully do my training there and get a IAA issued license. Spain is also an option since there are a number of english speaking FTOs over there. Germany is obviously the best choice in the fact that I have a german medical, but I am yet to find an english speaking FTO over there, but I will keep looking.

I'm not letting this small set back from stopping me flying. I will do everything in my power to become a pilot and hopefully I will oneday achive my dream. Thanks for all the advice guys, keep it coming!
