Technically, the 1st could be logged by a plain PPL flying IAW IFR in UK VMC
May still be possible with Old CAA UK lifetime PPL though?

now required.
(IFR flights completed, legally, before 17 Sept 2012 would, however, count)
NB: Just noticed FBM has already answered

I disagree.
With the latest proposal the requirement was changed from 100hrs actual instrument time to 50hrs flight under ifr rules. I have a confirmation from EASA on this.
The discussion is wether this should be reduced even further or not to 25 hours. At that time this was the best compromise.
It is clear that the working committee at EASA understands that the original requirement was totally out of line. The main reason against a further reduction has nothing to do with EASA's view against the FAA IR but .. this is law towards ICAO IR .. not FAA IR .. in other words .. also licenses from BoRaBora or .. (figure of speech). and that is where some people were concerned.
So the maximum is this present requirement which is very much in reach of anyone who has an ir.

The Agency and the Review Group experts agree with IAOPA (Europe) and have amended 8(b) to allow an applicant to demonstrate adequate theoretical knowledge to an examiner during the skills test. The Agency and the group also agreed to amend 8(d) by reducing the minimum experience required to 50 hours flight time under IFR as PIC on aeroplanes.
