From Gov.uk

"Recreational flying

Current government guidance on coronavirus precludes recreational GA flying.

This is being observed in practice by the vast majority of the GA community, and we are grateful to them for doing so. The message we are receiving from the GA community is that they fully appreciate the need for these restrictions, and observing them is being widely encouraged throughout the community. Again, we are grateful for this.
"

"Because the directive to stay at home is being well observed, we do not perceive a need to introduce a specific ban on flying by visual flight rules (VFR) as seen in some European countries."

We have never been stopped form flying.
If there was ban, they suggest the process to unban would be more long winded. Well of course it would be for jobsworths.

Still i'm getting furlough money, not wearing out my aircraft to earn that cash and who knows when dual flying will recommence.
