At my local flying club, Goosedale MFC, we have been approached by our landlords with a request for photos from the days of the old model museum. It appears they want to create a photo wall in the main conference and wedding venue, that shows something of the history of the site as a model flying venue. Unfortunately, most of the current members are more concerned with flying than they are of taking photos, so all we have to offer is what is in the 'official' club archive - which to be honest isn't much. However, over the years, especially in the early days of the museum, when there were various events and competitions at thet the site, there were lots of visitors, and I am hoping that some of the members of this forum are among them. More importantly, I am hoping that some of you may have some photos of the site in your archives, that you would be willing to share with us. So, if anybody on this forum does have any useable photos of Goosedale, and would be willing to have them displayed for the public to admire, then please let me know. We don't need original photos - good quality scans would be more than enough, and the more the merrier. Can anybody help? Thanks in advance, David

It seems this is just following the new eu taxation rules which were due to be implemented on Jan 1’ but have been delayed due to the Covid situation: https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/business/vat/modernising-vat-cross-border-ecommerce_en explains in more detail. my understanding of this is that the rule will apply eventually to every eu business, exporting to any other country, including other Eu member states, and is primarily designed to stop the “drop shipping” practices of certain Far Eastern companies in their attempts to avoid paying import taxes. The expected border chaos at the ports may also play a part in some companies temporarily suspending sales to the UK, of course....
