GIJoe,
Thanks for that. I just wondered if, since the advice was unofficial, there may be problems/objections down the line. I have been "lanterned" before as a child and tested as normal, although I never could do the ishihara plates. I suspect I'll go through OK at gatwick, but it's nice to know if I don't there are other options.
thanks.

Taking an objective view about this, the CAA is being quite helpful here and calling them To**ers is not going to help anyone.
If you can prove that you passed all of the requirements for a Class 1 Medical in another fully fledged, note, JAA country then the CAA will grant you a Class 1 to train in the UK.
