ANIMATION: Volcano ash empties UK airspace

The animated gif is interesting, not least because it shows how busy UK airspace usually is ... covers 5:50am to 6:45am this morning (timestamp lower right).

Watching #ashtag on Twitter, it looks as though there's an emergency evacuation in that corner of Iceland, due to flooding.

Sunset here obscured, as it frequently is, by clouds. Normal ones.

I couldn't get that to work.
Meanwhile nice to see BBC using such up to date pictures to illustrate stories: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/8622099.stm just in case we'd forgotten the livery that British Airways used from 1984 till 1997!
