All cars covered in fine brown dust this morning. Just north of London so it is unquestionably settling and confirms what the Do228 found yesterday - distinct "muck" in layers upto 10,000'.

Time to start getting very concerned. Prevailing winds are going to keep this coming our way till the middle of next week. The volcano webcams confirm it is still belching out a lot of smoke/soot/ash/debris - just better pray that its big brother "Katja" (?) doesn't blow its top

I suspect a lot of temporary lay-offs in many airlines if this continues for another week and as for the recovery from recession........ double dip anyone?
