Can highly recommend Neil's Husky at the western end of Loch Earn... He's very good at progressing things and getting things done and I managed to do the whole rating in just over 3 days.....But we did have superb weather for it and I sat the CAA Commercial Seaplane exam at Gatwick beforehand to save time (and just in case i ever get to use my newly acquired C208 rating on floats)

We flew round virtually the whole of Western Scotland, landed at several different lochs, Oban & Glenforsa using the wheels and also visited a lochside hotel we had previously stayed at for afternoon tea.... Marvellous flying and well worth the trip just to see the scenery. Landing on Loch Rannoch, beaching on a small isolated beach and having a brew courtesy of Neil's 'Kelly kettle' was the icing on the cake....

Going back very, very soon
