Another aviation message board reports this Notam.

RWY 27 ILS U/S. 09 NOV 17:43 2009 UNTIL 09 NOV 22:00 2009

Cat IIIb is on the westerly runway (27) only - not sure if the south-easterly wind would have permitted its use anyway but the wind is very light where I live about nine miles away - and the fog/mist has been around all day in the area even at heights below BRS's 600-plus feet elevation.

There have been turbo prop cancellations/diverts during the day according to the airport arrivals board and nothing at all has landed since 1656.

Cardiff and Birmingham seem to have taken most of the diversions with others going to Exeter and East Midlands.

I emphathise I have no weather, technical or aviation expertise and merely report this in good faith.

Addendum

It seems the airport is now accepting inbounds again. KL 1057 from AMS landed about ten minutes ago.
