Sadly the islands aren’t big enough (or the oil price isn’t anymore) to support 2 IFR airfields in the Shetlands.

How come the report states the weather at the time as BKN/OVC* 300ft at the time of the accident?
*Correct as necessary - I just remember from the report it was similar to the conditions at Sumburg.
