"Hah! Easy for you to say...."
Twitter:
Am following a number of Twitter sites including @Eurocontrol, who are very open about replying to information of what is going on in European airspace. Also the mildly amusing @Eyjafjallajokull, who may or may not be the official Twitter account of the volcano itself. (Bio: "I'm a lava not a fighter")
Conspiracy nuts:
NATO conducting one of the largest exercises in Northern Europe, combination of operations including Operation Brilliant Mariner, using air sea and ground forces in UK, Netherlands, France, and Germany, started 12 April and scheduled to finish 22 April. The same day the airspace over the exact same countries is due to reopen.
Other stuff:
Here is a link of a bunch of people trying to pronounce the name of the volcano.
The name Eyjafjallajokull scores 47 points in Scrabble!

How?? Presumably not by sea.... Wont try to explain why I simultaneously sent my NZ passport to be renewed in London and my British one in Tokyo. Both done and returned inside of 2 weeks, including volcano...
Finally.......
The last wish of the Icelandic economy was to have its ashes scattered over Europe.
