Aircraft approaching Gatwick fly over my house. Fortunately they are are a height which rarely causes any significant noise disturbance. It is easy to make out the logo displayed on each aircraft.
The last few days have been, well quiet, as the Icelandic ash has grounded flights. Should the outpouring of ash continue for a considerable time, it will be interesting to note the reaction of the regulatory body. There is muttering already that the rules are too strict and flights could go ahead. Any relaxation of the rules should be viewed with suspicion. Simply because a safety rule is inconvenient is not a reason to relax it.
