'scuse me for asking, but why couldn't the planes fly at a lower altitude?

Oh and can those turboprop "Hercules" jobbies fly? I know they're propellor driven but I think it's jet engine technology that the propellors are connected to.

They can but it cost's a fortune and uses oodles more fuel in the thicker air, they would go empty before getting there. Local may be fine but medium and long haul would be a no no.

Thanks for that ronnie b!

I saw a turboprop today. Civilian aircraft too... Don't know where from. Staverton, Gloucester I expect.

[Sapphire Window Cleaning]

The way this is going my holiday may be cancelled.   

The ash cloud is all over the UK!
As the cloud moves south it is actually descending, so even light aircraft will be grounded soon.

Yes it has small glass particles which you cant see - Im wondering wether to ware a mask to work I will look like a dick but better than getting health problems - I have been outside working on my van all day today and yesterday and my throat is really dry chest feels wheasy? Most of us guys have no choice but to work outdoors and we cant really stop, anyway back to the mask?

It isn't glass thats in there, volcanic ash is a lot more abrassive than normal ash/dust, this is because the ash particles have very sharp edges where as dust and other ash have rounded and smooth edges. also volcanic ash can hold more water than other forms of ash and dust.
Be careful if you clean your car/van in the next few weeks as you could really damage the paintwork.

ooohh!! i dont know how we will survive :

bloody hell they have volcanos going off
in iceland all the time being directly on a
fault line and manage to get on okay.

we have a bit of dust floating our way and
everythings coming to an end. : :

we breed a right bunch of fannies in this
country these days.

i would be more worried about dust if through
it bullets were coming at me and i couldnt see
mines and was getting hit by roadside bombs
like our soldiers are.

talk about whinging about a minor bit of discomfort

get a flaming grip

Noticed lots of this "ash" about today, did a couple of commercial jobs and the windows were covered in the stuff. Just checked the sills on my house and they are black with the stuff, I cleaned the friday evening too. Looks like we will have a busy month!!

[Sir Squeaky]

I haven't seen anything.
I don't really believe it.
