If you get the caa in it will probably be quicker to drive by the time you have filled in all the new forms they will require.
We are so lucky in this country to have the ability to take off and fly from one end to the other without HAVING to speak to anybody at any time and it would be a sad day that we lose that . Next stop no off airport landings , no vfr etc etc I still believe we need affordable certified autopilots for small helicopters and the ability to go imc safely , if inadvertently entered . Fixed wing seem far better served with their imc ratings . Also in this day and age why is it STILL impossible to get accurate actual weather for areas away from airports ??
Very sad if it is in fact weather related once again . RIP
