The current (0700) visible satelite image of the UK shows southern England
covered in what appears to be contrails. If this is what they are, then I've
never seen quite that many show up like this on what is a fairly low
resolution weather photograph...

Many, many contrails, a higher concentration that I've seen before at
approx 5.30 this morning looking NE from Oswestry, I think they were
heading South, from Manchester, Liverpool and all airports North.

.... I agree: undoubtedly, there is a good deal of 'natural' cloud in
and rearward of the upper trough axis, but when I looked out this
morning (~0500Z), the sky was covered with newly-formed contrails, and
we now have complete cover of what looks to be the result of those +
of course the aforementioned tropospheric cirriform cloud.

A marked contrast to a few days ago before Willie Walsh pointed his
aircraft at London and said .... " I'm coming in "!

All looks to be tied in with the direction I would take if I were an
Icelandic ash cloud.
I suppose if I was an airline though, I'd come down in favour of ash
deposits and passenger cheques than safety and returning passenger's
deposits.

And if I was an airliner, I'd be spitting feathers too.

What larks!
