Thanks for all the help
Things are looking a lot more promising than I could possibly imagined.
I have spoken to a CAA doctor and the DVLA, who have advised me to wait until the legislation is actually in place, but cannot see any problem with me getting back my PPL (although probably limited for a year or so - i.e. no passengers). Looks like it could be a long time before I am able to get an ATPL.
DVLA unable to give any info as regards flying.
I will keep you posted as and when I recieve any further info/good news
Cheers
Ben
