Avoiding Action
You're quite right - I'd forgotten about that aircraft. I suppose I'm fixed into a mindset where it'd be an RN SeaKing from Prestwick that would come to get me from a Glasgow/Prestwick/Cumbernauld to Mull/Islay/Ireland type of trip.
I've never thought about requiring the services of the Stornoway aircraft, since I rarely go north of Oban. Bet it's important to those who fly from Inverness or Wick though.
