I guess it is a critical situation for livestock farmers up and down the
country.
There were 20 new cases yesterday. I think that's the worst daily tally
yet.
---From what I read, they had hoped that initial restrictions would confine
the disease to those
animals in contact with the original outbreak. It looks increasingly
likely that the disease has
spread further, and these restrictions may be with us for some time to
come.
Useful links for pilots concerned with the contamination issue:
http://www.ais.org.uk/filestor/A8.TXT
appears to detail the temporarily restricted areas. (of which there are
a great many !!)
Does anyone have any other links which give details regarding flying in
the current situation ?
