BBC have also posted a direct link to eurocontrol's website.. on the front page of BBC news.
I'd advise you all to refrain from visiting it unless necessary. We don't want their site to fallover due to excess hits. - Which it probably will now.

hilarious reporting
Lovely lady on Sky has just described " A lot of planes coming in, circling over Heathrow, just waiting for more information"

They're crediting Plane Finder on the screen. Looking at FlightRadar24, things are starting to move again, some flights departing Heathrow now.

16:10 Local... After doing some orbits in the North Sea area, there seems to be a steady stream of descending aircraft above the Thames Estuary.
Also several departures from the London airfields.

Just over a year since the last major problem, which was caused by the telephone system on Saturday 07/12/2013,
But all those lovely 'journos' and media types will focus on these 2 days, rather than all the others, on each of which about 7000 aeros have moved about flawlessly.
