    I think Iceland is in the upper left quadrant and either mainland Europe or the British Isles is about middle bottom of the photo... stupid clouds!!! lol

    Yes, that's correct:

    Still seems very precautionary, the visible plume is at least 1000 miles north of London (where Dave and Sue would fly from) and planes generally head West over southern Ireland before moving more North which would put them way to the West of the plume that is traveling South East.

    Volcanic ash: Flight chaos to continue into weekend



    Extent of Iceland volcano ash cloud

    [​IMG] The volcanic eruption in Iceland on Wednesday night sent plumes of ash thousands of feet into the air. The cloud has spread across the UK to Europe. [​IMG] The spread of the ash cloud at 20-30,000ft raised concerns for air safety, forcing at least 12 countries to restrict or halt flights in their airspace. [​IMG] The eruptions from the Eyjafjallajoekull volcano continue to pump out ash clouds sporadically, which means the disruption is set to continue. [​IMG]
