If you did the CPL writtens and took the flight test why didn't you apply for a full CPL in the first place?
timzsta,

...because under the old 3-tier medical system, I could only get a Class II, not a Class I, due eyesight correction required (JUST outside the limit). The BCPL only needed an old Class II as it was for all types of aerial work, not Public Transport. The CPL/ATPL at the time (1989) required a CAA Class I. The 'new' JAR Class I correction requirements changed recently, bringing me comfortably INSIDE the limit, so I now have a full JAR Class I medical, initial issue at the age of 57! (So I guess I must be fairly fit & healthy).
