I suspect alot of Pilots do, and for one reason alone : BREXIT
I SOLI’ed to France, but first applied to the CAA for a UK-PPL so I would be covered to fly anything in any country.
Every person I have heard of that SOLI’ed to another EASA state made sure they had a UK-PPL first as protection.
The irony is that as of last April the UK-PPL is only valid for Annex 2 (1?) aeroplanes… And if the rumours are to be believed on the other GA forum the UK CAA is going to continue with the current EASA rules after Jan 1st 2021 so there is the possibility that I will have to use my European licence to fly a G reg aeroplane in the UK after the UK has left the EU !!
