Plenty of aircraft over the Scottish Highlands at the moment, all heading out across the Atlantic.

I've turned on my ftp upload for a while - http://www.tarbat.gofreeserve.com/radarbox.htm

CTRL+ALT+DEL - works every time, but you have to give the computer time to reboot - lol

Looks like the ATC computer is back up again!

The extremely strong winds over Central Scotland probably blew over the twig at Prestwick.

Shanwick Oceanic is moving to a new facility on Oct 22nd, wouldn't be surprised if todays incident was something to do with the preparation for the move.

Or old kit getting a little unreliable? Difficult to tell without knowing more about what they use and what the fault was.
