Can you get your lisence issued in person?
I can't find any information on the CAA website, but I was wondering if I camped out at Gatwick for a day if it was possible to issue a new PPL on the spot? I am training out of the UK and may not be able to get instructor sign off to fly when I return.
I wanted to avoid the six week wait for lisence issue if possible, so that I can fly in the interim and get used to UK airspace and RT without getting too rusty.
Does anyone know if this is possible or have any relevent experience?
Thanks.

CAA PLD aims to get new licences out within 10 days of receiving an application. Assuming, that it, there are no errors in your application.
You can fly (but not take passengers) whilst waiting for your licence to arrive if you do so under the supervision of a FI.
But if you turn up at your local Club announcing that you have just completed your training elsewhere and are waiting for your licence to arrive, it wouldn't surprise me at all if they told you to go away and come back when your licence has arrived! Or alternatively, they may restrict you to flying with FIs until your licence has arrived - so that you can learn UK rules and procedures safely.

Thanks for your replies.
I will of course require some dual time to learn the new RT / airspace procedures etc, how much will be determined by the club checkout. I have indeed been told I will have to wait until my lisence arrives and it was this delay I was hoping to avoid. If it really is 10 days then this will be no problem, but I don't want to be out of the air for too long.
