And doubtless you need a photo ID for your UK licence as well.....can it be the same photo ID for both? A cycnic would probably say 'No'. Yes, Reader, I am that cynic!
On that subject, what a wonderful new system we have now....2 licences (UK and JAR/EASA) instead of only one if one has to fly non-EASA tyes or those on a national Permit; and if I want a TRE from another EASA country to do my LPC he has to be briefed by the CAA at a cost of £630; last year he couldn't SIGN my licence, all I had to do was send the 1174 and a copy of his TRE auth to the CAA and pay them about £100. OK, before some smartxxx point out the ORS that delays this until November, you get my gist!
So much for commonality and simplification!
