Bose, without knowing either yourself or adrian, I just want to point out that in Oct '03 as adrian linked earlier you specifically said:
"I only went from the IMC to IR to allow class A and non UK flight and there is nothing wrong with the IMC otherwise. Take it from me there is nothing different between the instrument skills on an IMC and the instrument skills on an IR..."
Don't really want to get any further involved in this, but it just seems that your last argument there is made a little weaker, because you clearly made the distinction there that it was an IR you had, and NOT an IMC.
