You only need the Language Proficiency endorsement if you plan on changing to an EASA license, be it PPL or LAPL.

Yes i have flown to the scillies in a C150, spent a week under my wing in a tent always woke up outside at the bottom of it, its a bit hilly there, think it was called St Mary,s. Harold Wilson was sitting in his garden, You are right it is a loverly place to visit, but its 30 miles across the water, IOW about my mark, but maybe i will one day, Always better to fly as a pair over water, so if there another pilot wants to do it this summer let me know. I have done all those things had my 9 life's and quit a few more, and i want to get as long a pension as possible out of the government .
