Can someone please provide details on the field at Papa Stour. Nothing in Pooleys.
Merry Christmas, The Wombat.
PS - wife kicked ME out of bed this morning at 6.30am to go get the bird from the butchers so "we" would miss the rush. Did not seem very merry then - can only get better!

You should have done what we did; we bought ours a month ago and bunged it in the freezer! I saw queues at our local bespoke butchers yesterday at about 3pm, so I know what you're saying!
Papa Stour: if no joy from these pages, try contacting Loganair at Glasgow Apt, or try ATC at Sumburgh(or Loganair there if they still operate from there).

Sheep may be present. Airstrip unfenced from common grazing ground.
I can send you some pictures if you let me know your email address.
