I wish I didn't bring up the 61.75. Although I want to keep flying in both countries my UK license is the most important to me if only because it will be the easiest to 'lose' or generate massive expense to retain / regain. My medical will expire imminently and after that my Cert of Experience would be almost certain to follow committing me to at least a skills test not to mention the looming complication of an EASA conversion and so on and so forth. Perhaps I should have asked on the instructors /examiners forum what their interpretation would be.
