Yup, the RAF is evaluating cases as they are submitted but a transfer from Edinburgh to London of a person with a severe medical condition took place earlier today via a RN Sea King helo.
Low level flights should be fine unless the cloud starts to fall, but at the moment it's lurking up at some 11km through which commercial airliners have to ascend to their cruising altitude. I think half of the problem is legislation meaning that even flights at an altitude below the cloud have to be cancelled in case the cloud drops, although TBH I'm not well versed on that so I can't be sure, GoldenRivet would probably know more.
