Interesting questions:
1) Call up:
When I joined the UAS (about 12 yrs ago) I was told although we would be VR, the secretary of state had said we would not be called up, unless there was mass conscription! - True today? I don't know, but probable, for all the reasons previously mentioned.
2) Logging flight time:
I logged over 100hrs in the UAS, which the CAA accepted towards my Civi PPL with the conversion requirements I have already mentioned. These were part of a full training programme. However, personally, I have not included my 3 "Air Experience" flights I did in the CCF. Gut feel says you might include one, as this is the first "lesson" towards a PPL anyway. I also had a number of flights (with hands on the controls) of jets and rotors, but they are not in my log book either
