Glenforsa Loony Toons

a few others came and went......
There would have been more if the 'airport manager' hadn't chosen the only weather window on the Saturday to b****r off on some private bit of 'business' taking the A/G operator with him and declaring the Airfield closed due to 'waterlogging' (it wasn't).
This left pilots who wanted to leave, unsure what to do, and pilots on their way to Glenforsa, being told by Scottish Info that the Airfield was closed until further notice. It took the Hotel manager working with the Council guys at Oban to sort out the mess and get the runway re-opened, but by then most of the incoming had turned back.

You couldn't make it up.
