Just home from work.

The BA A320 had CAA dispensation to fly through the RED zone on it's second trip this afternoon and did so at various levels, routing from Manchester towards Newcastle and then into the Scottish TMA.

As far as I am aware it was the ONLY aircraft that had the relevant paperwork to do so.

There have been heavy showers all day here in Prestwick, and I can assure you that more than just rain has fallen from the sky, my car windscreen was very dusty when I left work at 10pm.

Hopefully all will be back to normal in the UK after 1am Wednesday morning.

The RED zone has now extended SE to the UK/Amsterdam boundary so there may be problems down that way by morning.
