BEagle or anyone else who can answer.
I found out the hard way with reference to the 5 years bit and had to travel to Gatwick last week to revalidate my JAA PPL.
It had expired in January 2005
My RT licence had also expired as that was only valid for 5 years as well. My new RT is valid for another 10 years now.
I have one question that I am trying to get an answer to.
Is an old (pre April 1999) CAA PPL valid for life or is the also a life period on these licences too???
