all open from 10 tonight

..guess BA had some inside knowledge to have 12 planes already on their way to Heathrow..

Flights are now delayed until Thursday.

Gordon has made it so.

The longer he can keep all those voters out of the country the better.

Expect the Royal Navy ships to arrive home via the Antipodes on May 7.

It might be the Daily Mail but the title made me grin

Don't know if this link has been posted already, but it's quite cool - you can click on the little planes to see where they're going from/to. Seem to be a lot of planes up there - including some flying right over Heathrow.

So ignore me, the Radio 2 news at 6pm must have just been a blip...

Well that's what the BBC have just said but the NATS site still says Wednesday...

"0100 BST on Wednesday" according to BBC ?

I planned to do some work while I was away, never miss too many billing days. I am just thinking how much stuff to bring with me, hurts my head trying to work out how much underware I might need

Then just bring both pairs.

False alarm. Hekla hasn't gone bang.

My flight for tomorrow has been cancelled. Now to work out how to get a refund from edreams.

[cojak]

flights are running again for me,

tomorrow's equivalent flight today has flown, looks like I'll be ok tomorrow

Milan.

Reports are coming in that the bigger, uglier sister has started to blow as well...

What are the odds of landing an unpowered aircraft, given enough height to reach an airport? Perhaps passenger jet pilots should be experienced glider pilots. Ones that only need one attempt at a landing.

I gather flaps don't work in dead-stick mode because there's not enough power to operate them without the engines running. So it would be a fast landing.

Like this one... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Transat_Flight_236

Middle of the Atlantic - out of fuel - 70 miles out from a small island....
