Do Flight hours in Annex II ( now Annex I ) aircraft count towards EASA PPL revalidation.

IAOPA June 2018 Newsletter :
"Annex II flight time. EASA has now agreed to the use of 'Annex II (a)-(d)' aircraft for training, testing, revalidation and renewal purposes, provided that the NAA issuing the licence, rating or certificate has assessed and approved the aircraft to be used. This amendment will probably appear in the Aircrew Regulation when the Decision following Opinion 05/2017 come into effect".
So good question !

I never heard about this problem, I usually fly both historical and normal plane without no problem during revalidation.

You already asked the very same question, and we already provided an answer, here:

Dear all,
Some Member States allow crediting of hours flown with Annex I (former Annex II) aircraft but there is legal uncertainty about this practice, this is why EASA has led a Task Force together with the Member States to prepare amendments to Regulation (EU) 1178/2011 and associated acceptable means of compliance (AMC). These amendments will establish the conditions for the crediting of hours flown on certain Annex I – aircraft. This should be discussed during the EASA Committee planned in February 2019
