Lufthansa have also been positioning quite a few aircraft over the last couple of days. No reported problems with them.
Would they have been flying high enough in a light aircraft? Surely a coincidence.
What is the current situation with the volcano? Where is the best place for updates?
Try breathing that in. Or try flying through a cloud of that.

From tonights KLM test flight:
Het is genoeg geweest. Het heeft nu lang genoeg geduurd, we willen vliegen”, aldus KLM-topman Hartman. ,,Vanmorgen zijn in Duitsland enkele proefvluchten uitgevoerd tussen Munchen en Frankfurt. Er blijkt niets aan de hand”, aldus de KLM-baas.
Volgens Hartman zeggen ook onderzoekers van NASA dat de concentratie stofdeeltjes meevalt en waarschijnlijk geen gevaar oplevert voor de luchtvaart.
,,Tot onze ergernis viel er niet over te praten. We smeken daarom nu bij Eurocontrol in Brussel om weer te mogen vliegen, maar tot dusver krijgen we geen toestemming”, aldus een gefrustreerde Hartman.
Volgens de KLM-baas zal het toest direct na aankomst uitgebreid geïnspecteerd worden. ,,Wanneer er niets aan de hand is kunnen kort daarna vanuit verre bestemmingen ook toestellen met passagiers aan de reis naar Europa gaan beginnen.”
Indien dat het geval is zullen waarschijnlijk morgen ook andere maatschappijen hun dienstregeling van en naar Schiphol weer willen opstarten.
And Google Translate says:
Enough is enough. It has now lasted long enough, we want to fly, "said Mr. Hartman Hartman. 'This morning in Germany a few test flights between Munich and Frankfurt. There seems nothing wrong, "said KLM boss.
According to researchers at NASA Hartman said that the concentration of particles easy task and probably not a hazard to aviation.
'To our annoyance was not about to talk. We beg therefore now at Eurocontrol in Brussels to fly again, but so far we get permission, "said a frustrated Hartman.
According to KLM boss will send immediately upon arrival extensively inspected. "When nothing is wrong may soon then from long-haul aircraft with passengers even on the journey to Europe's go."
If so is likely tomorrow other companies their schedules to and from Schiphol weather to boot.

I didn't say its the end of the world.
Just showing that there's volcanic ash/dust about, even in the South of England.

No, you are simply showing that your car is dirty.
If they resumed flights through the cloud there is no chance I'd be getting on the plane.

Of course it wouldn't be anything to do with the fact that it hasn't rained for a few weeks and the ground is actually dry and dusty of course!
I saw a light aircraft go overhead (flying fairly low, naturally) at about 1610. I'm not all that far from Andover so it might even have been the same one.
Anyway, hope no-one around here cleaned their cars today, because they're going to have to do it again tomorrow...
