Bob,
Here's a reference to the regulation of what constitutes or may be
substituted for a flight review. Keep in mind that for U.S. pilots, any
reference to instructors, military, or check pilots will, in most cases
refer to US FAA certificated or US military personnel for individuals
operating an aircraft of US registry with a US pilot certificate.

I do yes, it's been a little over 2 years since my GFT (UK NPPL "General
Flight Test") after about 50 hours of training in my Kitfox, which I assume
more than counts as my BFR for my PPL here. At that time my instructor said
"you fly this plane better than I could", which sounds pretty good but he,
like many others, thought the Kitfox "twitchy" and had a lot of trouble
handling it.
I've only done about 7 hours in it in the past 2 years (in the past month)
due to the year and a half struggle getting it legal, and am not very
confident yet. I took it to 4000ft yesterday to do some slow flight and
stalls - I need to practice 45 and 60 degree bank turns and power on stalls
yet. What I realised is that I need *lots* more practise but also realised
when I fill in my insurance application with my last BFR date being more
than 2 years they might balk if I broke something practising for a BFR,
which makes me even more nervous about practicing... Yes I already know the
response to this post = "Grow a Pair!" ;-)

How do Kitfoxers get a BFR, assuming you are flying on a PPL? Or do we need
one?
Yes you need one, and you should have no trouble getting any CFI to
do it. Remember they're not doing flight training, are not pilot-in-command,
and don't need to save your bacon. (I hope.) They should just be along for a
pleasant ride asking you to show your stuff; which you do know, right?
