clouds of ash from an icelandic volcano heading south is causing major disruption to flights in the uk and ireland with a number of enlish and scottish airports closed and disruption at dublin, and shannon airports. Belfast airport is currently closed

Those of you who watch "air crash investigation" would be aware of threats to the engines. In 1982 a british airways plane landed safely in indonesia after all 4 engines stopped due to ash getting trapped in the engines. After numerous restarts the humas broke off and the engines restarted.

This disruption could last for days depending on how long it takes the system to disappear. Irish ferries are also saying there are available spaces on their sailings today.
