Great photo. Have you got a weblink we can get this from?
Many thanks, but is there a "live" version with regular updates?
Apologies for the delay in replying...busy day.
You can use this:
EUMETSAT IPPS animation - Meteosat 0 degree Ash Iceland
Which will show the most recent one for public display (public display is about 30-60 minutes behind realtime). You can also get various animations and stuff going on there.
I think there's a video on our frontpage too, but I seem to have lost it.
The worst of the ash has bypassed Britain I think, but there's still quite a lot of it around that doesn't show up too well (as it's incredibly thin). Short-term I doubt it would do aircraft any harm, but over the course of several hours (or repeated flights) even this very thin stuff is a real pain in the ass.
