Pilot returns restored WW2 Spitfire to Greece

A pilot has returned a Spitfire, once flown in World War Two, to its home in Greece.

It was sent to the UK in 2019, to be restored to flying condition, but its return was delayed by the pandemic.

Its flight was watched by the very pilot who flew it in the Mediterranean 74 years ago.

Covid: Does the new 'jab and go' travel policy actually make it easier to holiday this summer?

The need for fully jabbed travellers to do Covid tests means there will still be that extra cost and inconvenience to foreign travel this summer.

Then there is the uncomfortable truth about airport queues.

There are warnings that the need to check Covid-19 status will lead to delays.

Covid: Travellers returning to England warned of six-hour airport queues

People returning to England from abroad could face peak-time airport queues of up to six hours when travel measures are eased, a union has warned.

On Thursday, the government announced that fully vaccinated UK residents returning to England from amber list travel destinations... would no longer have to quarantine from Monday 19 July.

But they will still have to present three documents in addition to passports:

    a passenger locator form, monitoring possible contact with people who have coronavirus
    proof of a recent negative Covid test
    proof of being fully vaccinated at least 14 days previously
