My tuppence; went for a Class 1 down in Gatwick in September last year, failed the CAA Class 1 but passed (subject to a couple of checks) an FAA Class 1, and passed a lantern test which meant I was entitled to have a restriction on my Class 2 removed forthwith.
It's now mid April - 7 months later - and despite letters, telephone calls and psychic chanting I haven't received a single scrap of paper.
I don't know what it's problem is, but the CAA is a shambles.
