He should hire a private jet to travel.

No herding then.

As you say, if you want to fly to Prague for ten quid, put up with the stink in the cattle shed.

Ya but it was as meaningless as the last nine months have been downt Turf:D

Just hoping that the fly ban is lifted before 7am tomoz as Joan has rearranged her flight for that time, if the ban is still in force she will have to cancel her holiday as she can't reschedule it again owing to other commitments, but its better to be safe than sorry

No worries Martin, I know the feeling having been stuck a few times myself.

Hello Simon,
I was having a brew at the Stanlow services today and there was a coach load of punters having a right old moan about not being able to fly from EGCC to EIDW, they were being bussed to the ferry at Holyhead to catch a boat over instead.
I kept the old gob shut but thought about you, I will be happy to fly when you are mate.

By the way, last time I flew was in 1960 when we were doing drops over Salisbury plain in a Beverely, no cargo doors either cos they won't open in flight.

All the best.

ever flown on a Dakota mate - wife flew with Botswana Airways for a number of years on those - The only plane that I know of with outside toilets - :) -- she won't thank me for that!!

Re: Volcanic ash cloud on its way
 

The news report on Sky said that 'if ash started dropping everyone should stay inside'. Is this all a plot? Is it actually nuclear fallout? Should I be hoarding baked beans and hiding under my table?

I'm just waiting for all the conspiracy theorists to start popping up. I'm sure they'll have something to say about a global bid to confine us to our homes.

If we all do that and eat them at the same time we could blow the skies clear :D
