You can now travel as far as you like within England as long as you maintain social distancing and return home the same day. Boris said 'to open spaces'

So there is no impediment to fly provided the other person(s) in the cab are from your household and you return the same day. You plank flyers have no other issues as most airfields are indeed open spaces, but us rotary types may have to reconsider confined areas. However we also have the get out clause that the helicopter championships are indeed a sport so we can just put the flight down to practicing. Now where is that bucket and rope.......

The CAA merely issued guidance in light of regulations that no longer exist in their original form

As to whether the virus will obey Boris and disappear, well time will tell. Many of us have concerns many more people will die as a result of this bizarre easing and that the resultant length of disruption will cost jobs and homes.
