Sorry Hugmonster, the BN2 is not £500 per hour to operate. I say again, the idea is to use Oban as a HUB, get the picture? Some of the plans are well under way for the Inner islands to get their air services back again. The idea of a 146 out of Oban is laughable. An old friendship might just do it. There are also plans for a Dash 7 to operate out of Skye, from experience, that would be a nice aeroplane for Oban.
