A and C - you dont seem to appreciate that getting your recreational toy serviced is not essential. Nor is it a 'legal requirement' unless you want to play with it.
The 'Aviation legislation' -not sure there is any relating to this, it is merely guidance - is NOT restrictive. That is the problem - it suggests this activity IS legal. I have the Regulations in front of me. They amount to but 6 pages including the title page. The restrictions on movement are section 6 and less than a page. I will do as you suggest A and C and not only download them but paste them here and invite you to demonstrate where they allow the maintenance of recreational equipment. Sharpend is spot on. This isnt about being a kill joy but about reducing viral transmission. Even if one particular activity is low risk, the issue is that if the entire population also used one loophole or excuse, transmission would inevitably rise, deaths occur and the lockdown be prolonged
Here is the relevant section:
6.—(1) During the emergency period, no person may leave the place where they are living without reasonable excuse.
(2) For the purposes of paragraph (1), a reasonable excuse includes the need—
(a) to obtain basic necessities, including food and medical supplies for those in the same household (including any pets or animals in the household) or for vulnerable persons
and supplies for the essential upkeep, maintenance and functioning of the household, or the household of a vulnerable person, or to obtain money, including from any
business listed in Part 3 of Schedule 2;
(b) to take exercise either alone or with other members of their household;
(c) to seek medical assistance, including to access any of the services referred to in paragraph 37 or 38 of Schedule 2;
(d) to provide care or assistance, including relevant personal care within the meaning of paragraph 7(3B) of Schedule 4 to the Safeguarding of Vulnerable Groups Act 2006(3), to
a vulnerable person, or to provide emergency assistance;
(e) to donate blood;
(f) to travel for the purposes of work or to provide voluntary or charitable services, where it is not reasonably possible for that person to work, or to provide those services, from
the place where they are living;
(g) to attend a funeral of—
(i) a member of the person’s household,
(ii) a close family member, or
(iii) if no-one within sub-paragraphs (i) or (ii) are attending, a friend;
(h) to fulfil a legal obligation, including attending court or satisfying bail conditions, or to participate in legal proceedings;
(i) to access critical public services, including—
(i) childcare or educational facilities (where these are still available to a child in relation to whom that person is the parent, or has parental responsibility for, or care of
the child);
(ii) social services;
(j) in relation to children who do not live in the same household as their parents, or one of their parents, to continue existing arrangements for access to, and contact between,
parents and children, and for the purposes of this paragraph, “parent” includes a person who is not a parent of the child, but who has parental responsibility for, or who has
care of, the child;
(k) in the case of a minister of religion or worship leader, to go to their place of worship;
(l) to move house where reasonably necessary;
(m) to avoid injury or illness or to escape a risk of harm.
The only other excuse is that this doesnt apply to the homeless!!!!!
