In my day we could only dream of using Aberdeen as an alternate from Sumburgh coming in from the Shetland basin - it would have meant we couldn't have carried many pax!! I often used Wick which meant I could carry a full load and once actually used it (VOR/DME approach!) - in my day we got a free pen if we fuelled at Wick - they were a very friendly bunch and turn rounds were very quick. I was the only 332L who brought a full load back that day!!
