Aerospace embargo set to be lifted

The Icelandic ash, estimated to have cost the UK air industry an estimated 200 million pounds per day could soon be nearing an end according to recent reports.

For some residents in North London enjoying the tranquillity of the elusive British summer, the sight of a Royal Navy helicopter prompted people to believe to air embargo had already ended.

Sun-seekers in Regents Park were stunned when a Royal Navy helicopter landed on the common just before 4.pm on Sunday afternoon.

Early reports indicated that a person had suffered a heart attack however the seriousness of the incident meant that a Royal Air force helicopter was scrambled rather than the usual air-ambulance minimising the risk to the public.

Edmund Hayden who had been playing football said: “The police told us that there was a serious accident and we would have to abandon our game of football. Half an hour later the helicopter landed. It felt really strange as I’ve not seen any aeroplanes or helicopters for over a week.”

Less than two miles away Eurostar in London was inundated with desperate travellers trying to make their way home by rail after abandoning their attempts to fly following the volcano in Iceland.
