Noggin and Rolling Circle - thank you for your comments - you are clearly well informed. I accept your comments.
My own personal view is that there are many serious PPs who would like to undertake an IR, but consider the constraints I have highlighted unacceptable barriers. Some will clearly follow the FAA route, many will not bother.
Who would agree with me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My impression is that the CAA are sympathetic - and I still feel it is a cause worth lobbying for.
