If you're lucky previous training records may show this, if a TRE has ticked the right box,
Thanks l8starter,
It seems on this occasion I AM lucky!
The examiner that did my last sim check back in 2010 apparently ticked the right box according to CAA at Gatwick!
So no ridiculous additional English proficiency certification required.
Cheers,

PS. Yes, very very sad indeed. 25 and in the prime of his life. Just an awful tragedy...
