Wow I got through!
I got hold of the guy today but I still havent got an appointment. He says I need to call a few days before because their diaries change so much but he was a little more helpful.
I just hope I dont call a few days before and they say they cant fit me in!!!
In respect of the BFR I understood differently because I am gaining my FAA PPL on the back of my CAA PPL and in my reading of the rules the FAA one is current so long as you maintain your CAA one. This is different from obtaining a full normal FAA PPL.
I am pretty sure this is correct but maybe the readers can put me straight. The letter says I am applying for a U.S. Airmen Certificate.
