This is all way over the top. They showed on ITV News today the volcano was throwing out ash NOT upwards into the air but it was falling to the ground IN Iceland. The last one erupted for 2 years nothing happened then. They did a test flight for 2 hours yesterday British Airways & it landed fine. What's the problem? You can fly to Ireland cos they don't fly above a certain height anyway as it ain't far. Millions wasted for nothing & people stranded for nothing.
When this volcano erupted for 2 years it was in 1821, I doubt many airlines would have been affected then.
A lot of the ash that was being ejected was falling to the ground but the smaller particles stayed in the air which is what made it to the UK. The Finnish air force reported that one of its F18 fighters was quite badly affected by the ash.
If NATS had allowed all flights to go ahead and planes had been affected then people would have said whay didnt they stop flights. Its a no win situation.

Apparently it's going to close more airports over parts of Europe again. But Sky news has had evidence found that not one airline has had any contamination of their engines

It's all a fuss over nothing. Iceland have you noticed has been business as usual
Would be great if someone could just go & stick a plug in the volcano would'nt it
My sister in law her 2 sisters visited from New Zealand & when they were going back they got stuck here from the last time planes were grounded
