I like a few of the people above spent my first NATS posting in Sumburgh late 80's early 90's and had a few aircraft/ship conflicts landing 27 or heli 24 and ships going in/out Grutness! One memorable one was during a half mile SRA to 27 with a BAF VC8 in really crap weather at the end of my spiel the pilot announced he had just gone around due large ship between him and the runway! We sent a fireman out to investigate and found a large three masted schooner docking in Grutness! Aviation and the sea were very close in the shetlands what with 'submarine watch' and rescue helicopter Oscar Charlie! Never mind the Russian Destroyer we found sheltering off Sumburgh head one morning as it got light! Happy days......
