...to break the law in a BIG way.

*Go and Hoon the M1 at 150+mph!
*Hold up a Jewellers!
*Rob a Bank!

Because with the Police helicopters and planes grounded by the Icelandic Volcano all they could do is chase you, and thanks to the Health and Safety Hand-wringers they can't risk high-speed pursuits in cars anymore

[Ladyhayles]

I can reliably inform you the police helicopters are still up because the Northampton one just went over our house!

[FraserLFA]

It's commercial aircraft that are grounded

[Fartgalen]

Planes or helicopters without turbine engines should be OK, (AFAIK).

[FraserLFA]

I think it's more the height they fly at. Police Helicopters, single engined aircraft etc will generally be flying lower, so will not be effected.

I dunno... The dust is getting pretty low. Back at my mothers house in Halifax there is a coating of dust over everything.

Thats odd..nothing here in Wakefield

[petrolveins]

The police helicopters near me are grounded, i've seen them with my own eyes, sat on the tarmac, going nowhere. I then saw a SL500 taking full advantage of this, doing 100mph+ past the airfield and grounded helicopters

[NiceCupOfTea]

Heard a prop plane go over here an hour or so ago (from Biggin Hill I imagine)

[Cock Womble 7]

There were some gliders over Dunstable Downs earlier.

[Summertime]

Police and air Ambiwlans are up and about in the north east plus a few Cessna's

[Mr Trophy]

Only 150 MPH?

[Oily Nails]

My current 'fleet' consists of a

• 1964 4-door 1275 Morris Minor

and a

• 2002 4-door Fiat Punto 1.2 Active

150mph in either would guarantee my place in the history books, slightly below WW2 but just above 'The Great Fire Of London"

She took a photo of the main road into town...

[yorkshire]

Anything Civie will be grounded, that is police helicopters as well, unless they have sand filters..which they wont. SAR and anything else rotary and military will be flying..

[Cock Womble 7]

According to the Daily Mail's headline this morning, this volcanic dust is deadly and we shouldn't go outside. If you really must venture out, wear a face-mask.

There should be some left over from the SARS/Swine Flu/Bird Flu stocks.
