How is the volcanic ash situation affecting you, your friends, family or work? - Page 11

It's had well over 100 years to build up to this. I don't see it stopping for months at best, and of course there's Katla for the grand finale (literally).

What's more likely to help is a decent spell of southerly wind.

Funny how the Germans were using our airspace as a corridor today, but we can't get anything in the sky south of the border.

I shall wear a tinfoil hat from henceforth, the world is clearly ending.

Weren't they flying above the ash cloud?

Or is there something more suspicious going on??!

Last time I looked you had to go up and through the lower levels of the sky* to get to the upper levels

* like where the ash is

Ah I must have misunderstood, I thought Kitten meant they were flying over the UK which clearly is fine if you're at altitude.

Yeah they've done it on purpose cos of all these election debates, so no one can hijack a plane and crash it into Bristol this week when the 3 party leaders are all in the same room

I think they might regret this mailout ...

They were getting above the level of the ash when they were in clear skies and then traversing our airspace above the level of the contamination.

However, it's just been announced that all UK airports are to open from 22:00 this evening.
