According to FTN (a UK training industry newsletter) there are 6000 pilots in the UK with national licenses (NPPL or the UK national PPL). That is a huge number to be grounded by this EASA measure.
There is irony in the fact than many UK EASA licence holders that SOLI’ed (like myself) to another EASA state a couple of years ago ensured they got a UK ICAO PPL off the back of their EASA PPL (and paid for the privilege!!) to ensure they would continue to be able to fly G-Reg aeroplanes “Just in case”, yet the CAA have now said that this cant be used to fly G reg EASA aeroplanes… You couldnt make it up!!

A UK National PPL is an ICAO PPL. The UK NPPL is not the same.
I think ORS4 1471_pdf is the latest word on this, but I sure as hell cannot work out what it is saying.
Some think it addresses this issue as well.
but I don’t think it does.
