Aye raunchie pace, but I bet you would have needed a wide body rating of some form, a set of ski's and a bag of flour to be able to do the job safely.
MJ they might sound great on the radio but face to face you might run a mile
I flew into Inverness once in a twin in atrocious weather, hailstones the size of golf balls.
Only other aircraft was one of those Oceanic survey twin turbine things with a Russian female pilot! Voice sounded real sexy!
I had looked at a satellite trace seeing blood red west to East but clear over the islands to the west and struck up a great plan to get out of there.
I would fly down Loch ness below the clouds at 200 feet and once clear of weather work down over the islands towards the IOM and then WAL.
This lady knew the area better so I strolled over to run the idea over her!
She was gigantic in an immersion suit and not quite the picture the voice portrayed
She politely informed me that with the winds in the direction they were that I would get halfway down the loch and find the clouds on the surface so I followed her cunning plan and ended up around Aberdeen instead
All fun
Pace
