As Mrs WN says he's obviously not stupid as he knows how to fly but he is another of those "Educated Idiots".
Or in other words 'brainy but no common sense'

Wrong again Cornersteady . Its the old MONA airstrip not the current RAF. However you word it, what a plonker but after Cummings way anything is possible from England. By the way entry into Wales still restricted as is our movement within. We accept it in the benefit of all. As the First Minister said on Friday, Its not us but the Virus thats fatal. Lets be fair even Cummings or Boris or anyone else would have envisaged that stunt in need of putting into words in lockdown rules.

An RAF spokesman said: "The RAF can confirm that on 25 May a civilian PC-12 aircraft landed on a closed runway at RAF Valley without permission.
This is the quote from BBC Wales but it really doesn't matter about where he landed just that he did and the fact that he could think it was a good idea.
This thread is about our Concerns and one of mine, mentioned some posts ago, was the muddlesd message that Johnson gave out when he relaxed the travel rules in England. He did not make it abundantly clear and in easy to understand words that this only applied to England so Wales and Scotland have both had incursions where folks from England thought that travel was anywhere in the UK. This is what happens when you have someone giving out instructions who is poor at doing just that.

Yet another death on the coast, this young 17 year old lad was from Birmingham. He had gone snorkelling or spear fishing on the Weymouth bay side of Portland, but 200 yards out and the 3 rip currents run around Portland Bill and if he was there, wouldn't stand a chance, but obviously he knew better! Look how many were involved in the search.
If going to the coast please stay safe.
'A spokesman said: "Despite a thorough and comprehensive search by RNLI lifeboats from Weymouth and Swanage, coastguard search and rescue helicopters from St Athan and Lee-on-Solent, a police helicopter, two coastguard fixed wing search aircraft, rescue boats from the cruise ships Britannia and Queen Mary 2, two Royal Navy warships, a Royal Navy helicopter, coastguard rescue teams from Wyke and Portland Bill and Dorset Police, nothing has been found'

Is that because it came from a Welsh news Source?😂

Thanks for the update Steve, is pretty much I how I expected it to be. It’s often a day out for us in normal times, we like to take the MH and make a day of it, walk the pooch, do a bike ride, and then chill out with a meal in MH. But I fear it might just get too busy for our needs, even in some of the less popular park up areas. I bet the Walled Garden is looking stunning though, if the gardeners have managed to get anything done.😀

sorry how am I wrong (again) Fish? Please explain or are the BBc and the RAF telling porkies? Or more Fish-news

For me it is getting a bit tiring how you keep having ago at how your government is doing so better at handling this than the English with it's carefully planned approach, ie:
Here in wales the first minister talked about what next will be relaxed specifying to businesses they should be using the next 3 weeks to prepare, not like England where changes seem to be made on the hoof with little preparation time.
I could remind you that looking at the population totals and current raw data on deaths and infections that the death rates for England Scotland and Wales are more of less the same per head of population at 0.047%, 0.045% and 0.041%.
And in terms of infections England is at 0.24%, Scotland at 0.25%, but in your part of the world it is 0.37%, so it could be argued that your government's approach isn't as good in reducing infections as you would appear to suggest?

As I understand it the teams and astronauts have been in isolation to avoid just such an incident. Either way NASA TV, available on You Tube, makes for much more compelling viewing than the rest of the news at the moment. Watching it at the moment on the smart tele and will certainly tune in for the launch this evening.

Sadly, two more casualties not from the seaside this time but "cooling off" in the river Avon near Bath.

Mona is the old RAF with its closed runway. Not the actual site now used by the RAF> Could it be that any increase in infections in Wales are the result of the persistent breaches we see coming in by road/ Air from England. Nough said. "We are all in this together" and this virus is the one that kills

How fortunate that all the Welsh are upright law abiding citizens and not breaching rules. Come on, Fish, folk are getting a bit fed up with this pointing the finger of blame.😖
I’m concerned about incomers but I'm not so naive as to think all westcountry people are saints. There are good and bad in all groups.

Well you know better than the RAF and BBC then Fish so I'll bow to that superior knowledge. Also why did RAF emergency services attend the plane? Either way your use of a little airport was totally incorrect as was the 'imposed fine'
And it's England fault again now? Not perhaps your government's incorrect stance? Or your own people perhaps not keeping to social distancing guidelines, or illicit meetings? More usage of public transport? I have really no idea, could be anything, but I don't keep blaming other countries like you do all the time, just a thought.
Anyway I though you said your police were stopping all coming through?

+1. Like I said tiring blaming it all one on reason

Sadly the new outbreak at Weston General in Somerset has been traced to the staff accommodation. Some of the staff also work in the community, care homes etc so there's now an effort underway to test more people.
To my mind the testing needs to be ramped up everywhere. Many were asymptomatic at the hospital.

Like "what if he/they had just stuck to the don't travel far/stay local" request?

Whether posters on here have views one way or the other on the slightly different interpretations of how lockdown should be carried out in the devolved administrations, I certainly detect unease amongst several UK Government advisors about the unnecessary haste it has been carried out to the East of Offa's Dyke. As reported on Radio 2's news this evening, is this now the early signs of trying to get the genie back in the bottle.

there seems to be more light aircraft about, and most seem to be on a course south westerly ,have they found a way into Wales /Devon or Cornwall missing the road blocks
