It's May 2 here in Australia, but apart from that, I'm just slow on the uptake.

Good to hear you are well.

Don't worry, Phil.. Read in this month's Pilot that France has given UK permit aircraft the all clear equivalence so your fellas can fly to France to get fois gras and escargo again without all of the administratrative hassle.. The airfields missing British custom must have complained hard and long enough... 😉

That's the origin, apparently.  "M'aider" or "m'aidez".  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayday
