Volcanic ash clouds are so annoying

Well it appears I am grounded. My flight to Majorca is supposed to be at 18.10 and now they are saying ALL flights are grounded until 'at least' 18.00, which means it will be a nightmare at the airport and I cannot imagine my flight would still be operating.

Oh well, I guess I'll just have to........ fly my helicopters this weekend! :)

Yeah, It sounds like it might blow somewhere else by then depending on the wind and how much more of it erupts.

I had a choice of either flying at an insanely early hour, like 5.50 in the morning in which case it looks like that flight probably left OK. so it goes.

Well, at the risk of sounding like an ubergeek or something. After Tuesday the thing I want to do most is fly the Hirobo evo again :) When people talk about something flying 'like it's on rails' that's a good description. Even in the gusts we had on Tuesday that heli just instills such confidence, it's such a joy to fly.

Hi Sheryl , Just been on the Easyjet Website for a mate and at the moment the 1810 flight to Majorca looks to be operating , assuming thats your flight lol . Things can change but i hope you get away ok . At least they are refunding on there cancelled flights though . Rob .

Where the hell have you been hiding Rob :)

We have just been grounded at work. Although currently it is forecast to be open again at 1900 the long term forecast could well mean nothing flies in UK airspace again until maybe Sunday morning.

Depends if the wind does what they expect it to or not.

Yeah it's still showing as operating last time I looked but that's assuming the suspension is lifted exactly at 18.00. Which would mean I'd have to go down to the airport and wait and still have a high possibility of not having a flight.
I'm sure Easyjet hope to keep as many seats as possible so they're not going to say anything for certain beyond the 17.55 flights but it doesn't look good for anything even close really.

The last I heard is that all flights are suspended until 'at least' 18.00 and could be later. BA has cancelled all flights until tomorrow morning.

So for now I'm staying put.

Oh oh Sheryl! :ack2:

[tiddler]

Well, one way you'll get to fly the Hirobo again :)

And the other way, you get to go to Ibiza :)

But which one do you want to do most ??

Either way it sounds like a win win situation to me ;)

The Icelanders are obviously still pi$$ at us trying to nick their fish, or maybe it's a final effort to stop Local Councils getting their money back :)

Meself and the Memsahib are off to the Scottish Highlands next week:patriotscot:.....looks like we will have volcanic ash as well as snow to contend with.
Should be a larf:biggrinjester::biggrinjester:

I don't see NOTAMs notifying the closure of Aberdeen or Glasgow. Am I looking in the wrong place?
