It's been pushed back to 13:00 BST tomorrow now, although they might allow flights from Northern Ireland and the Western Isles of Scotland to and from Glasgow, Edinburgh and Prestwick and North Atlantic traffic to and from Edinburgh, Glasgow, Prestwick and Belfast may also be allowed in the period 01:00 - 13:00 BST tomorrow. I guess this is because the cloud is mainly towards the east of the country/North Sea at the moment, but all it'll take is a swing in the upper level winds. Still, time will tell, some scientists are on the way up to Iceland in a specially configured plane to take some samples from the cloud to judge its environmental impact.
