Not the best of timings

Given the unprecedented impact that the Icelandic unpronounceable volcano is having upon air traffic at the moment, one would have thought that the Facility for Airbourn Atmospheric Measurements who are a collaborative body between the Met Office and the National Environment Research Council, would be up there taking readings of the ash cloud, probing the density and all the other things that such people do to find out as much as possible as they can with their BAe 146 research aircraft.

Unfortunately it is being repainted at the moment and all its instruments have been removed
