A bit of detail - does anyone of you recall, when flying anything near the Mull light house, seeing a white post on the seaward edge of that landing area I have described?
I wondered when it was last seen standing upright.
When I came across it, it was lying down in the ferns near its post hole - it may have been decided it was no longer required at some stage but it was probably too heavy to be worth taking away - a foot in diameter and about 8 feet long - half painted bright white. It was in the middle of the edge of the cliff and would have been a handy aiming point on ground that was otherwise devoid of recognisable features - like DPM would look to a fly. Its position was only a matter of tens of yards from the position of waypoint A.
