Limited flying has resumed uphere in the frozen north. Here is a statement from our national body the SAA.

"SAA statement from 12th March 2021
Due to the slight easing of COVID restrictions by the Scottish Government, the SAA are delighted to announce that as from Friday 12th March, R/C flying in groups of no more than 15 may recommence on the proviso that the below document entitled: COVID Sports Specific Guidelines for the Scottish Aeromodellers Association Rev 7-dd446 is fully adhered to. This is in draft form at the moment but I am happy that if the guidelines detailed in the document are followed, then we will be good to go. Any further relaxation of the restrictions will be communicated in the same way.
Enjoy and Happy Landings

Steve McDonald. SAA Chairman.

I generaly fly alone or with one other soarer on my local hill. There is plenty of room for a further 13 guys if you wish to travel north.
Brian. :D

At the end of the day, it all depends what the BMFA/LMA says is allowable at each stage as it is usually their insurance that we fly under.
Therefore the only sure way is to wait & see as & when the guidelines change.

Peter, the BMFA has already clarified that the insurance is still valid regardless of the COVID regulations, so although you may be breaking Covid rules by going flying, meeting more than 6,etc if you were make a claim on the insurance it would be covered

It's very clear, rule of 6 does not apply, as we are a sport.
