Another interesting snippet from bbc (
BBC News - Volcano cloud as it happens: 21 April ):
Dr Colin Brown of the Institute of Mechanical Engineers in London has studied the effect of volcanic ash on plane engines. He told BBC World Service: "We've been running test flights over the last four or five days and collecting information from the engines that have flown through those clouds and seen what damage the clouds done to them, and we've found that the damage is zero and so we're in the situation where we're now happy to continue flying through those clouds."
