Looking at the latest Radarvirtuel screen shot of europe on the main volcano thread mainland europe seems to be very active even though it still appears to be covered in ash !

It was a 757 ex Skyservice lease . It arrived VFR over the Irish sea from Iceland. You can track its route here, change time to 10.30 and hit replay at x50.
Casper - live aircraft tracking
Another movement is an American Gulfstream 5 due to depart VFR to the west very shortly -3000ft

Hearing a rumour that the arriving 757 had deposits of ash in the engines ??? Anyone closer to the action able to confirm or deny??.
I have recieved this information 2nd hand so in no way can vouch for its authenticity.

i went for a walk along the southside road a few hours ago, the only thing that moved was a flybe dash8 doing engine runs,quite a strange sight seeing 60 odd aircraft not going anywhere and the whole place so silent and still.

2 FCA liveried 757s have just gone in on 23L in quick succession.
Are these ex-lease, diverts, test flights?
How do they get permission to operate? Simply file VFR flightplans and accept any risk themselves?

Re Ben-Keghead
...as i suggested there ARE things that can be done.
The...
setting up a bridgehead in Madrid
provision of coaches in Spain for diverted pax
RN now involved in ferrying pax from Calais and Santander
Here here for a bit of creative thinking...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
As for diverts 5Live just reported 12 BA wide bodies in the air 1800 TUES expected in UK airspace 2100.
If MAN is open I suspect it will master div number one....and can you honestly see the airport then turning them away, of course not, it would be a unmitigated PR disaster !

I am currently tracking this BA flight on radarVirtual
Fight Number : BAW17V
Company : British Airways
ICAO Hex Code : 405BFC
Reg Code : G-YMMS
Model : Boeing - B772
Departure : DEN - Denver, Denver International - USA
It has been holding for the last hour over the Isle Of Man, so if MAN not open to traffic?

Yes Im looking at RV as well....there are upward of 400 aircraft in the air now, mostly over Europe.
The ash cloud is covering BRU as well so who knows what is going on......!

Ash Deposits?
ManOfMan, someone was pulling your leg. Ash doesn't get deposited directly into jet engines. There are many good explanations of what happens to ash in th e pages of this website.
Looking at your recent contributions makes me think. Are you against aviation? Manchester airport is suffering enough without silly rumours like yours, pal.
Buck up your ideas.
Regards from a fellow spotter.

Mr Bloggs,
Manofman said ash deposits, a reasonable enough term to use in this case.
We all know what he/she meant and as he/she did admit it was second hand rumour most of us will also take it with a pinch of salt until it's backed up by evidence.
Chill.
