Default UK medical requirements for US glider pilots...

In US an FAA class 2 medical is only required while excercising the
privileges of a commercial certificate. I would hope an FAA class 3
would be sufficient for UK gliding as it is far more stringent than
being ok to drive a car.

Perhaps ICAO class 2 is not equivalent to FAA class 2, anyone know?
