Yeah. Al Fakhem is right. Once the call to shut all airspace came more should have been done. I would have thought the country's brightest minds would be mobilised. I would expect scientists out with hand vacs colecting settled ash. RAF Tornados up testing the air. I would have expected met balloons going up like a swarm of bees. So far...... A dornier 228 buzzing around and the initiative of a couple of airline bosses.
