Now that is something else that I have done during my fairly extensive flying career.

Deliveries to Dounreay from Carlisle were great fun. It would have been so much easier if the full length of the wartime runway had been available but the half that was left made it a bit more of a challenge.

I often thought that the US equivalent when carrying such an interesting load would have demanded two parallel 10,000 foot runways with CAT IIIB ILS on each end.

It was nothing like as much fun when 'elfin safety closed Dounreay and we moved over to Wick.
