In their (CAA's) opinion, yes. Was issued in March 2005 with all the required paperwork, evidence, fee's etc. I would have thought if there had been a problem they would have picked it up then.
As I have told them the other day - I am now through 10k+hrs and we are nearly 10 years down the track guys! - are you people saying to me I have been practising my profession illegally for 10 years?
No response to that query yet.
