Now the authorities have admitted the safe levels of dust/ash in the air are 20 times what they previously thought only a few days ago, I hope some contributors feel 20 times safer when flying today.

As I said before, thirty years ago we were quite used to flying in thick (silica sand) dust all summer with no major effects on the aircraft or engines.
