Just had a thought and it is a shot in the dark-I already hold a VHF Only Radio Licence under Section7 (1) Wireless Telegraphy act 1949, which I obtained in 1980 to allow me to use a VHF set on my boat.
It's interesting that most of the anti-collision regs and aircraft nav lights are the same as marine regs.
I suppose it would be too much to hope for that this is also the same VHF licence as required for the PPL,or that it could be regraded etc?
