If you fly to america, do you travel back in time?

Depends what speed you fly at and what time zone you go to. The only plane you could do that in was Concorde and that was only if you went to the east coast of America.

you are going back in time, but only because you are turning your clock handles back, technically, it's still the same time in england

You are not traveling back in time relative to the observer in the timezone that you started in. so no

Well, I dunno about America but on Sunday I went over to Wales which is like 2 hours drive from where I was and when I checked the forum I'd gone back in time by like 7 months. So I think this definately proves our point.
