With so much trade now on hold due to the virus stopping production, we only need the "essentials" such as food and medicines at the moment, so maybe this puts us in the driving seat for forging new trade arrangements? Another example: All the crap about whether or not UK air worthiness certificates and pilot training given in the UK would still be valid in Europe has kind-of gone out the window as there's basically no aircraft flying etc etc. Maybe we need a new word to describe what we are going through; Brexvid-19 or Co-Brexit ? Hmm. Just need to take a look at any of the plane-finder apps to see how many aircraft are still flying! Not as many as pre-Covid, granted, and nowhere near as many landing in the UK as there were, but still. NERD!

There are so many cargo flights in the air but quite often something would be going over and it wouldn't appear on the app. I got my binoculars out and on two occasions they've been C5 Galaxys.

It happens with a lot of heli's too (usually Police Eurocopters round our way) and light aircraft on training flights from our local airport often aren't on it either. Not sure if that's an 'app' thing, or lack of flight plan or what.
