Made it to Oban from Prestwick today, Scottish Info sounded fairly busy with GA. Was slightly surprised that the only other aircraft there then we arrived were 2 others from our club (and the Hebridean Islander). Thought it may have been a bit busier, although there were a few other movements while we were parked. A D-reg Seneca arrived as we were preparing to leave, apparently touring. Don't know when they left Germany, wonder if they are stuck here or if they managed to get out of mainland Europe around the restrictions.

Weather around Glasgow was pretty murky, so we sadly didn't manage to take advantage of the lack of commercial traffic .

Fisbangwallop.. thanks for the usual great service, although I think we were on frequency for a whole 20nm in the end (we were G-BOAH). Unusually, 119.875 started to break up before Lochgilphead even at 2,500ft, so didn't get the chance to say thanks! I am sure we can blame it on the 'ash'!
