Well the Dawgs returned ok. Hit a wall of water over the Solway Firth on the way up and diverted to Carlisle. Stobbart, as handling agents, were first class and sorted out everything we needed including hangarage. Glenforsa was fun, Plockton was short as the crosswind was interesting, Oban was Oban, Perth was helpful and Church Fenton was super. Our ride down the Great Glen was rather interesting; bit like flying down a tunnel; water beneath, rocks either side and nasty cloud above. Still, at 100 kts better than in my Jaguar. Double Skydemon and a Garmin 430W were God sends.
