Default UK medical requirements for US glider pilots...

The UK requirements are quite explicit - essentially,
you need a simple self-declaration form but it must
be countersigned by a UK doctor 'who has seen and read
your entire medical history'. This is probably unlikely
for a US resident. There does not appear to be any
way around this.

For most other non-UK countries, the medical requirements
are stricter, and an ICAO [=FAA ?] class 2 medical
is required. If you have one of these then you are
automatically OK in UK.

Anyone have recent experience [other than ignoring
the law] ?

Lasham were quite happy with my South African CAA Class 4 medical and GPL...
