Up to date advisories are available from here

This is the 06:35 UTC plume estimate.

Any ideas what the green/red/blue lines signify?

thecretinhop · 15-04-2010, 10:59

Wtf? im flying next Tuesday from Heathrow do we have any idea when flights will resume?

Celtic Mech · 15-04-2010, 11:00

From looking at it i reackon each is a boundary to which Flight Level the Ash Extends to. For anyone unfamiliar to them, e.g. FL250 = 25000FT and so on.

The Blue is for more dense ash cloud, I think the red is for less dense traces of ash.

My missus is supposed to be flying back from sweeden tonight ... d'oh !!!!

Is volcanic ash valuable ... maybe the UK government could try and gather as much as possible and take it as payment for all the lost deposits from the Islandic banks!!!

AS of now.. there are NO planes over the island of Ireland. Quite a rarity i guess

Edit: and typical the last plane to cross Ireland was from...... Iceland !!

I was due to fly to England via Finland in jan, flight got canceled due to snow, now I'm off to the Snooker in Sheffield on Saturday, and flights could be canceled due to ASH!

Time to give up
