In 2010 I was F/E with EAT in Brussels on a validation from my UK license. We had to get an Irish licence as we were told the UK licences would no longer be valid. It was no hassle as the company sorted it out.
My UK licence expired in 2011 and I didn't get an invitation to renew it.


Have you been continuously licensed in the UK?

Yes,
i have had a valid, current Licence since 2002 and have been Flying with it ever since
I know a lot of the Ex EAT FEs and 727 Air Contractor FEs

Not that it matters much these days but CASA (Australia) still have my F/E Licences as valid.

I wonder where they will go in light of the impending closure of Finningley?
