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

... 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.

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!
