Thanks to all - I shall continue to use my CRI friend and ignore the suggested illegality from others who may have their own motivation!
As a supplementary query, can the airfield management object to independent CRI instruction? If my aircraft is based there and is being used with my permission I have always assumed that within the constraints of the law and insurance requirements anyone can use it, but it suddenly occurred to me that the local club could put pressure on the management - or am I being paranoid?

To sign a C of E you must hold an Authorisation issued by the CAA. It contains an expiry date. Assuming you are not a Ground Examiner and hold a Flight Examiner Authority, then to exercise the privileges of that Authority you must hold a valid pilots licence with appropriate class rating and a valid FI rating.

Is a CRI permitted to teach Aerobatics in the same manner as an FI who has had the Aerobatic restriction removed? And can claim to be able to teach the AOPA Aerobatic course?

Thats a interesting question. As there is no such thing as an aerobatic rating for pilots, then it is not illegal for any qualified pilot to teach aerobatics as its not contrary to article 36 (2)
(2) This article applies to instruction in flying given to any person flying or about to fly a flying machine or glider for the purpose of becoming qualified for:
(a) the grant of a pilot’s licence; and
(b) the inclusion or variation of any rating or qualification in his licence.
Whilst no instructor rating is legally required to teach aerobatics, it is the recommendation of the CAA that any person teaching aerobatics should hold a FI rating without aerobatic restriction, to ensure they are adequately qualified. A CRI has no such qualification but would not be breaking the law.

AOPA state:
This course comprises 8 hours dual flying with an approved instructor who is qualified to give aerobatic instruction, covering the standard manoeuvres, and 8 hours of ground briefings/lectures.
A CRI is not "qualified" and is therefore unlikely to be approved by AOPA.
