VP-F, tell us more!

VP-F, you mention you flew Islanders commercially, landing on a beach! Please tell us more! was it a remote Scottish Island perchance? did you fly a regular service? if so from where to where? Does the route still exist?

What kind of ATC service did you get from the beach? did the locals talk to you? cleared to land, etc etc?

What sort of people, cargo, sheep were you transporting? It sounds absolutely fantastic as a flying job. Was the weather particularly challenging? did you consult tide tables before filing a flight plan?

Is there anywhere else in the world where a commercial service is run to a beach, I wonder?
