I have not received the email as I am still in New Zealand working through VFR flying. We were given the information about the IR renewals approx 6 weeks ago. Just out of curiosity, when was the email sent? I'm wondering CTC have given us incorrect information or if things have changed in the last 6 weeks.
Edit: Disregard above, I have checked the latest email update and you're absolutely right, apologies for wasting thread space!
