Looks like sanity may eventually being applied and flights resuming
tomorrow. Humberside is due to re-open at mid-day with the first in-bound
due around 1pm followed by departure at 2pm.
Great quote from Bryan Hoxford of Eastern Airways "There was a massive
over-reaction, no-one asked the air operators who have far more experience
of these matters than half-a-dozen meteorologists halfway up a mountain with
a rain gauge".

Just been in the back garden, starting to re furbish the familly cot,
when I heard the sound of engines. Quite high up and heading down the
coast towards the IOM, was an SKA. Any gen on this one? It was overhead
the North about 1636.
