Looks like the volcanic ash could cause disruption to airports in the south east of England during the first part of next week

It was an article on Yahoo news at about 0600 (Turkish Time ) this morning which I can no longer locate. There were several quotes from various airline bodies and referring to the closures being based on computer models which had proved to be unfounded and not on actual facts. The consensus was that it had been unnecessary to close Heathrow and Gatwick in the light of facts.
