I got my C license on all my types because I was clearing SMICRS on Base checks already for a few years when I chopped in my BCAR A&C for a full B1 when I passed the restriction modules and had the necessary experience requirements a few years back
Oddly enough I retained my BCAR A&C licences as they are FREE and renewed Bi annually, but as you hold an EASA licence, the CAA issue the BCAR one for free.......... Stupid idea though shifting it to two years, would have been both cheaper for them and easier for me to remember if they had kept them both at 5 years.
I looked on it as every little bit helps and I can still use my BCAR ones if needed on some of the exotica. Though I would have lost my "Nominated Engineer " Approval when we did not renew our BCAR approvals, I have my C under EASA, so if needed I should be able to get that back..
