Yeah pretty silly set up.....I have a UK ATPL which has just expired and even though I am in current flying practice and have a current ATPL licence and 1st class medical I will have to "jump thruogh the hoops" to get it renewed....how does travelling from Oz to the UK to obtain a UK flight crew medical sound... cos it HAS to be done by the "Airship Pilots" at Kingsway !!!at phenominal cost for no real reason that I can determine.
