Several westbound transatlantic aircraft ended up on Arran and other Hebridean islands. I vaguely remember being told that the main runway at Prestwick was aligned to Arran's highest peak and the slow-climbing Liberator with full tanks and load of ferry pilots returning for more was one of the casualties.
