As Autumnal weather strikes us hard in the South-West and there's a spike of cases, we're expecting further local restrictions and a loss of trade. I don't think we will experience the national draconian restrictions on our activity we had in the Spring, but discouraging people from travel will have a similar effect.
We've had a good September which has put a bit of fat on the financial bones so we could endure a further period of low activity for a while. But then again, we're run by volunteers so our overheads are hangarage, insurance and mandatory maintenance - about £750 a month for our single PA28.
