Devil Islay

Flying in Scotland does amaze me at times!

Fabulous runways airport terminals and fire cover that spends a great time at weekends closed, usually funded by a large grant from the EU.

Had a great day out in Gigha on sunday, we were going to refuel in Islay only we could not due to the airport opening for a brief period ie: 16.30 to 17.40 We phoned the airport only to be told they would be closing at 1710!

No worries then just a short hop over to Prestwick to have the cactus treatment up the rear with nav charges and handling fees. If we only had a few more people with the attitude of Paul Keegan then I am sure that there would be far more people flying in and enjoying a special part of the world!

P.B.
