blagger & bose - thanks both.
blagger, are you a TMG examiner? as AIUI you need to be in order to sign off the test (and it is a test for TMG addition whereas it's not for SLMG NPPL) - and as I've found out, there aren't too many TMG examiners around but plenty of instructors for SLMG NPPL who can sign of the necessary paperwork.
The thing is, I want to get it sorted before EASA kicks in to secure what may become 'grandfather rights'.
Back up plan is to see Clive Stainer at Hinton if my local source of instruction proves uncommitted.
