Nice write-up here from a high-level Royal Aeronautical Society conference on the volcano ash shutdown of 2010

Under the ash cloud | Aerospace Insight | The Royal Aeronautical Society (http://www.aerosocietychannel.com/aerospace-insight/2011/01/under-the-ash-cloud/)

So in the future - more satellite predictions, possible use of UAVs to check airspace?

NB: Also a interesting titbit that Met Office is to get a 'Civil Contingencies Aircraft' in March.... (getting ready for 2012 maybe? ;))
