Devil Oh Oh OBAN!

Had the delight of visiting Oban last week for a fuel stop! and a potential out of hours TAKING ONES PANTS DOWN out of hours permit!

On paying my landing fee to a delightfull and friendly lady in the new terminal 5 building, I asked at what time did the airfield close? the reply was 5.15.

I needed a further refueling stop later that day so she suggested the out of hours form, after filling the form in I was refused a permit because I had put my business address on the form? The flight was a private flight but the jobsworth of a manager insisted it was for the use of private flights only and by putting my company address on it made the flight a commercial flight.

Thanks guys for screwing my day up by having to return early to refuel and as the manager said be out before 5.15 or else!

What a complete shambles and waste of EU money! for christ sake get back to the past of an airfield that was a welcome to visit, great service, with a cabin and a kettle and those great JAMMY DODGERS!!!!!

Its not only the midgys that bite on the west coast !

Thanks again to the good service of the guys in Scottish Info and EGPF
