Sitting at the eastern end of the med trying to get to blighty to get Jr back to school. the local carrier has cancelled all flights to the UK for the foreseeable future. Its interesting seeing this from the perspective of SLF, even though i have to get back to being a real jet pilot next week. Being asked for my opinion about travel by other SLF but cant really give them a decent answer as even if London opens, it doesnt necessarily mean Germany, France, Holland etc will and im not sure what the local operator will do anyway, but thankfully have a direct line to ops. This article from the mail on line has a good pic that shows the extent of the area affected. The diagram is to the bottom of the article;

Enjoy the days off chaps. I feel there might be a few to come yet.
