Had one heading north-south over us today ....... a red one ..... couldn't make out much else as it was a fair distance away...... possibly one of the ones you've seen John.

Quiet. You can likely hear the sounds of taxi cabs buzzing past..

A very important point for all the car owners amongst us. If you get volcanic ash on your windscreen do not under any circumstances (unless avoiding a crash) use your wipers with or without water. Volcanic ash will scratch your screen quicker than you can say "oh phuq it". You need a dry soft cloth to dust it off.

That would work, but I tend to leave my compressor at home as it requires 220v, is loud and would take up all the boot
