Inverness? Modern world response from Prestwick, Lydd or Caernarfon.
...except in this case, Caernarfon were already tasked and Prestwick haven't yet entered the modern world. Even when they do, Prestwick will remain one of the busiest units meaning that scope to help out on the east coast will be limited.
(West coast aircraft with deicing up over the top and let-down over the sea.)
Thanks
