Al Msg 1 - it looks like Sky might be wrong see the information I have posted on the flights 2010 and 2011 thread.

The worst case information seems to be:

"There has been no significant impact on flights today as a result of the eruption of the Grimsvötn volcano in Iceland.



However, according to the Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre (VAAC) in London, there is a strong possibility that parts of the ash cloud may impact parts of Scotland and Ireland in the coming 24 hours. Due to unstable meteorological conditions, it is not possible to identify with certainty the movements of the ash cloud beyond that time frame."
