Tingwall.

Looks like paddyboy has been there :) Tingwall it indeed is.
Open House has been called.

Does anyone have something ?

Far from home
Here goes,and a pair of sharp eyes may find an interloper `far from home......`

Apologies senor...

Eessa OK now

Isla Grande Airport, San Juan, Puerto Rico.

I think the interloper might be a JP.

Pedant Mode!
To be accurate it's the 'new' Tingwall airport which replaced the old grass strip in, I think, the '80s.
I flew into the old strip in Sep 1972 courtesy of Loganair; a patch of stinging nettles marked the northern end of the strip and there was a substantial stone barn just off centreline at the southern end but I don't know exactly where it was! There was a dry stone wall next to the barn which extended across the centreline; a visiting Aztec tried to demolish this while landing during my 'tour of duty' at Sumburgh.

dook,you have been to `Specsavers`....correct on both counts.... pins out,canopy closed ,....off you go
It is Mk4 XP547...

Not Specsavers - ASDA opticians - much cheaper. Oh, and I have over 2000 hours on JPs.

Dice roll again, but not too difficult.

XP547, 27 July 1981, Lossie - Leuchars - Finningley - Brawdy. My last Mark 4 trip. Another marvellous 'jolly.'

J,could have done that in one...burning at lo-level...?

Didn't know that this place was a replacement for a previous strip. Thanks for your recollections and the info. I paid a quick visit while driving around Mainland earlier this year; I visited on a Saturday so no activity unfortunately!

JP4 still in use at Shawbury when I did my PAR course in 1984, but I didn't manage to get a 'jolly' like some others did when doing the course.:{

Bear,

It is indeed a TAN aeroplane but it's not Miami.

For Sycamore, Lossie - Brawdy at high level tight and unlikely, not much Rebecca Eureka coverage left in 1981. Low level much more fun. Distant memory of Rebecca Eureka at Twenthe earlier that year on another jolly, but not convinced. On one trip I went Leuchars - Coningsby, doing a favour for the future Scottish Air Marshal.

Belize it is Bear. Taken by an RAF controller.

Your service.
