Did not look like such a great deal from where I am sitting. My plane's on fire again.

Dream would be to carry a few Roman friends as Idid last time I joined Wings of Prague.
CROSSING everything !!!!! THAT WOULD BE AMAZING

Hmmm… I am fully vaccinated but Covid-19 (and probably a Brexit that make procedures harder for UK) seems to make things pretty hard. A mix of isolation, a series of Ł210 tests and such are pretty complicated for a weekend there. Let’s see how the situation evolves in the next two months.
Simiar situation for me to Andrea, Got the Carte Sante but it seems that the UK does not want any French to enter Britain without Isolation!!!

Not looking good for you chaps on the amber list at the moment, unless you want an extended stay in our glorious country. It might be worth signing up to their email notifications.
Run for your life - there are stupid people everywhere!
Let’s hope we see some major changes on August 16th as the current Amber rules affect France, Netherlands and Czech Republic...
Let’s hope more countries follow Italy into green...

News this morning - Parliament to debate dropping the Isolation requirement for double-vaccinated visitors coming from the USA and the EU...
"Debate" only, thus far, but if it comes down on the "yes, we approve" side...
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
Rules have changed again as of a few minutes ago....and for us it’s a positive change this time... from 4th August fully vaccinated travellers from the USA and (amber) EU countries will NOT have to isolate on arrival, so that’s Netherlands, Czech Republic, Germany and Italy all clear to visit, just need the French to shift their behinds out of Amber+ and we can potentially have everyone able to make it....
Never Knowingly Undergunned !!
I will say this only once... The UK Gov invented the Amber + not ze French,

That is very good news for most of us then.
Paul and Mary, I will keep canvasing the PM, after all you are British subjects!
Failing that we will get the lads to smuggle you in in the Bombay of a Lanc. Promise not to fly over any Dams on the way!

Bombay that's a long way to come for a week end
So looks like the whole reason behind France being plague central is down to Reunion Island... that’s it.... madness.
However there is going to be another review next week and the view seems to be that France will be downgraded... so here’s hoping...

Thats it Guadaloup, Martinique , Reunion and all the Dom toms are high risk , but mainland France not a problem, its like equating the Faulklands to the mainland UK

Exactly... absolutely crazy to block France because of three tiny island thousands of miles away.
Never Knowingly Undergunned !!
So... looks like France is coming off stupid amber plus, meaning no isolation requirements... looking better for you Paul
Never Knowingly Undergunned !!
Its OFFICIAL... France OFF the quarantine list as of 5 minutes ago...
Never Knowingly Undergunned !!
Its only for the next 3 weeks but fingers crossed they will continue till September 20th.

alas gents,
we have not succeeded in finding a way round the UK government rules re covid-19 and visitors from abroad.
Although coming from an amber country and being fully vaccinated we still need to take a PCR test on day two of our stay in the UK. Test needs to be done by a government approved institute, not being the NHS, at a considerable cost. Test need to be planned and payed for before entering the UK.
We have found it impossible to find a way to do this, Not even with the "assistance" of the UK Embassy in the Netherlands (just go to gov.co.uk and after some clicks you'll find the answer ...) or the ferry operator (same answer as given by the Embassy).
So, in short ... the Dutch vic has aborted the mission.
Wishing you all a lot of fun and we'll see you all in 2022, we hope ...
cheers,
Guus

Sad, no 'Engelandvaarders' this year...
I am really sorry to hear this news Guus.
I always enjoy your company at our Event.
See you all next year one way or another I hope.
Well done on the F1 result yesterday.

Really sorry to read this, Guus.
It's always been great meeting like-minded players from other countries at these events.
I've had similar problems to yours when looking into a possible Prague visit this year; looks like we'll all just have to wait and see what next year brings.
In the meantime, here's hoping all our Dutch Wing comrades keep safe and well.
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
Hello,
after conferencing with the dutch formation, there are to many question marks left for me, too.
So I have to cancel my plans as well.
But I hope to see you all in Prague next spring.
Cheers and horrido,
Thomas
Thanks Boris !!!
Absolutely gutted Guus. It will be the first time we will find ourselves without any of our European friends. It’s a crying shame, but I totally understand.
Never Knowingly Undergunned !!
Shame about that Guus. Not going to be the same without our Euro contingent.
Run for your life - there are stupid people everywhere!
Sorry te horen dat het zo moeilijk is en dat jullie niet kunnen komen. Wij zullen jullie missen. Tot volgend jaar Mike
YepThanks Boris !!!
I am coming to the Doncaster Con.
I have booked a hotel room in Doncaster for the nights of Friday 17th September and Saturday 18th September. I could not obtain one at the Premier Inn because it is full on those dates but I have booked at the Grand St Leger Hotel, which is not too far away.
Is there anything, which you would like me to bring in terms of equipment, please?
A bit late I'm afraid but its not actually that difficult. I had to arrange this whilst I was in the US last week and it wasn't a problem

A subject I am always loathe to mention is one of cost.
At all of our previous events we have asked for Ł10 per person for the event (although we have waived that fee for those travelling from foreign climes). It was my intention to do the same this year. However with the possibility of a slight reduction in U.K. numbers this year it may be that we need to ask a little more (and by a little, I mean Ł2 or Ł3 extra). There are still a number of people who might be attending in addition to those I have had responses from, which might offset some of this. What with the uncertainty of actually having any sort of event at all we have not managed to hold the usual raffles and prize draws which have helped raise funds to offset some of the cost. I hope everyone understands...
Thank you
Never Knowingly Undergunned !!
Are we doing the prize table? I have one or two items I can donate if we are
I have a few prizes which I am going to chip in although some may be second hand!
