LONDON AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL closed to ALL aircraft

[NorthernRaider]

London air space closed to ALL aircraft until at least 19,00 hours because the ATC computer has broken.

There are HUNDREDS of flights circling over the SE trying to find a place to land or fly to.

Proof if it were needed that only fools rely on public transport, Its only been a fortnight since a similar electrical fault stopped every train between Stevenage and Newcastle

dunno bout you but my own personal aircraft is a bit beyond me right now.
