I can't wait to see this disected in the coming weeks and months as my cynical view point is that

1) BA perform test flights for 3 hours, nothing of note found (aparently)
2) since early this morning flights flying over uk to USA/south America
3) WW launches the fleet, knowing he is invited to cobra in 12 hrs
4) dozen or so BA jets rock up over head, only hrs after airports again shut down
5) WW to goverment, I have 12 jets overhead, running low on fuel. You want to send them to Europe after they have already been flying overhead for an hour or so, surely let's get them on the ground asap.

how can from this afternoon it suddenly gets bad enough to re close the whole uk again, until Speedbirds arrive overhead...oh did I mention there is an election coming up? Voters stuck overseas...media not talking about politics only ash...

Am I being cynical?
