the joke in the Daily mash about blaming the Met Office might have a hint of truth about it. they are relying on computer models of where the ash is and will be, not actually using observations or flying recon planes to find where the ash is. Apparently their aircraft for such things happens...

if only there was an alternative :wink: get used to it, if this volcano keeps going, flights wont be such a common and easy mode of transport.

seems to show alot of activity going into and out of Paris and Amsterdam, have they reopened then? are we the only ones still closed?

:clap2: i was just looking at one i found called Casper, showing 2 flights take off from Amsterdam. this is great stuff.

LINK please. i think we're all about to become plane spotters :)

go ahead and book - just use ferry & train. my parents went ahead with their holiday to Switzerland on Saturday by rail.

everyone is thinking there's ash about, but its more likely pollen or general pollution. i read today that volcanic ash had been detected on the gorund "as far south as Oxfordshire", sort of suggests there none in BN (or theres nothing to detect it?)

apparently they dont control smaller airfields such as Biggin Hill, so it seems its not quite as clear cut as we are led to believe. Maybe it only applies at a certain hieght?

well they would be less likly to, flying into the Atlantic where there is less ash. handy that.

now that doesnt make any sence does it? private boats and yachts are free to come and go as they please and theres no control i know of on leaving a country. just have to make sure you go thought the proper channels when you come ashore in the UK. you'd have thought they would want stranded...

bit handy to have it over the part of the UK least lilky to be impacted by the ash... i wonder where the KLM/Lufthansa tests were done?
