Heard last night of the new Icelandic Volcano which is causing probs over their air-space and has closed the nations airport(s). It seems this new cloud of ash could reach British air-space in the early hours of tomorrow, Tuesday 24th May.
A scientific chappie on 5Live earlier today said we are all rather sensitive about these clouds now after last year, but, the authorities know a lot more about them now. He thinks this one is NOT as bad as last years eruption and will be closely monitored. This is not the same volcano are last years one and now scientists say on many previous occasions they erupt and did not close British airports.
...fingers crossed everyone. We are due to fly from Gatwick on Wed 25th @ 1325pm

Perhaps best to keep discussion all in one thread, in case any vital updates are missed.
