Default MetO "fax" charts - day 4 and 5 back again?

Back in March the "fax" charts for T+96 and T+120 (issued for the 12z run)
and for T+108 and T+132 (from the 0z run) ceased, ostensibly because their
accuracy wasn't good enough.

However, I see that:

and

http://91.121.93.17/pics/brack4.gif

were updated yesterday. There are no equivalents from the 0z run today.

Was that a one off, a blip? Or have the MetO resumed issuing those charts?

Hopefully it's the latter, they're the cause of much speculation in winter!

Only the T+108 and T+132 were dropped. T+96 and T+120 have continued
to be generated throughout.

.... and it wasn't really to do with accuracy - more economics.
