Peter, in a moment of unexpected and ill-judged childishness, you wrote:
I picked up one error in your post though: "authority" is spelt with an uppercase "A".
I was referring to the competent authority, not a particular Authority.

List of Master Minimum Equipment Lists | Publications | CAA
The type I was flying is on the list, though it was not a G-registered aircraft.
I'm neither Head of Training nor a CAA (or DGAC) examiner... Much higher up the food chain than both of those!
