Low level piston commercial flights also grouned

Can anyone tell me why the CAA has "asked" operators to stop commercial low level operations in piston aircraft?

I have 2 photographic flights to do, one in a Cessna 172 and one in a Senneca both not above 2000 feet and both are banned but both aircraft are legal and currently active for Flight training.


It appears that if I climb in a Cessna for fun or training it is safe, but the moment I take my camera the aircraft is susceptible to volcanic Ash.

Have any universities done any scientific studies on the increase in abrasiveness of volcanic ash when in proximity to a Canon Camera?
