I got on this morning when the only a/c flying were in the south - but haven't been able too since.

by **Xplumberlives** » Thu Apr 15, 2010 7:06 pm

It's been lovely and quiet at the pond!

by **Nickolas** » Thu Apr 15, 2010 8:00 pm

Been Eerily quiet in Sawbo...........
Nothing flying commercially round here.

St. Ansted is dead airside but heaving landside.

Few bug smashers up though probably get the 'Want to buy an aerial photo of your house' brigade round any moment.

by **Mayfly** » Thu Apr 15, 2010 8:28 pm

strangly quite around here - you don't notice it until it is :))

by **Hihonyr8811** » Thu Apr 15, 2010 8:48 pm

I miss the way my mum listens for KLM to land at Humberside :((

And there's not herc going over

Very eerie :))

Yes Mayfly, that's what has just been reported on ITV's 'News at Ten'! Plus, 'the first Volcanic Ash is starting to fall in Scotland'.

I couldn't believe some of the comments that travellers were angry because they weren't flying. :-o

They'd be a bloody site angrier when the plane they were on fell out of the sky due to failure. (Well they would be till it hit the ground).

The crass me, me, me attitude just beggars belief.

(RobCM17 went to Iceland (country not shop) earlier this year and reckons that he has caused this by sticking a camera tripod leg into the glacier a bit too hard). =))

by **Mayfly** » Fri Apr 16, 2010 7:01 am

now gone back to 19'00 hrs tonight!!!!

Yeah some comments really make you wonder......mind you those blaming Gordon Brown may have a point.

If it continues to erupt and the prevailing winds remain in our general direction will domestic aviation ever return to our skies?

by **Mayfly** » Fri Apr 16, 2010 7:24 am

That's a scary thought!!!!

NOT for me it isn't!

Well , you have a point .
The last time this particular Volcano erupted [1821] , it erupted for 18 months .
