    I am looking west to see if I can see some contrails behind the mountains along the coast. Can't see anything but a load of mares tails being highlighted by the sun setting.

    Just seen it going past here northwards... it's tail smoke is pretty cool, but breaks up very quickly it is just turning around North Mayo at the moment.

    Wrong. Look at the sun shining at the ash plume. If it was heading north, the sun would have to shine from the south-southeast, which is pretty much impossible at this time of the day, isn't it :)

    Above me now is a plane turning very sharply. If Deep Easterly is here he will see it if he looks to his NW. The Jet stream streaks from his wings are very plain to see. Its very high up.

    Can't see it now snaps. There seems to be an unusual bank of cloud up towards your side? Like a decending bank of altostratus?

    Could be some residual smoke from further bog fires today or something. Either way, still there, although maybe it is closer to me than it looks.

    Katla had a strange spike in tremor activity about two hours ago, activity suddenly shot up by 20%. Odd.

    Did Willie Walsh know that the UK airspace would be open?? Very risky thing to do, flights coming from North America and Africa according to radarvirtuel, just spotted a Thomas Cook plane from Greece up around Holland bound for Gatwick.

    The airlines must have known that the airspace was gonna be open???
