I read in the Mail on Sunday today that the CDG has not been able to launch due to severe weather conditions. However, the R.A.F. havee been able to pick up their slack in a, conventional kind of way!

As Seldomfitforpurpose has implied in the
'Decision to axe the Harriers is Bonkers' thread, the story is tosh (
link) as is any suggestion that the RAF could
"take up the slack" by flying an extra 35 to 40 sorties per day from Gioia del Colle. Aircraft from
Charles de Gaulle have been flying 30-40% of the NATO strike missions over Libya.
