Ninian January 1992
TeeS,
No doubt you are thinking of the time G-BAMF was caught on Ninian North overnight with the un-forecast 130+ kts! One blade snapped off completely with another broken and dangling. I flew G-AZTI up to through Unst and Sullom Voe on 3 Jan to replace it. The islands had also taken a beating, with the RAF 'golf balls' of Saxa Vord being, quite literally, blown away. Also, the 'famous' Hagdale Lodge was ripped to bits, as was a portacabin at the side of the runway at Unst International.
Unfortunately, I don't think anyone took any photos. Unless Davy Gow took some, as he was the engineer on at the time. But it will live in the memory for a long time!!!
