OK, so Wales now back in lockdown.

South Lanarkshire, where we are in Scotland, looks likely to go into lockdown in the next week.

Are Welsh flying schools now closed?

Technically, during the big UK lockdown, aircraft were not grounded by the CAA - and aerial navigation was a reserved matter for Westminster in the Scotland Act 1998. So the Scottish government couldn't shut us down directly! Although we, like other schools, did close anyway.

Still interested how flight training is working in Tier 3 areas etc. Prior prep prevents poor performance etc
