Oooo........me log books are in the UK

I guess that my shortest time on a 'proper' flight (scheduled and Perf A) was between Jersey and Guernsey. Wonder if I beat 8mins. HP7 F27 and ATR

Used to go into Alderney in a Heron....erm, twas 45 years ago, cant remember how long it took.

I flew round Fairisle etc with the stalwart Allan. must have been going to pick up a DC3 or sumink. Seems impossible to think that he has retired. He would suddenly make a turn at some point when you could only see grey grey water. I asked how he new when to turn. "There's an eddy coming off......" (some little spit or another), he knew the shape of the water!
