Remember that if your airspeed is to high at the point of flare you will be floating in ground effect waiting for the excess airspeed to decay.
If there is a X/wind and or abrupt wind changes at runway height you have set your self up to make it more difficult to maintain the path over the runway you need for a controllable touch down.
The longer you float the more risk of becoming unstabalized especially with regard to drift and lateral alignment at touch down.

Dornoch was licenced up until 1983. Fire engine was a yellow 4wd Austin, removed some years later from the hut. The fire engine was rolled out on the occasions chartered flights required its presence.
Loganair operated a Trislander on a schedule Inverness-Dornoch-Wick 1972. It was about this time the north/south cross runway was abandoned. Prior to the installation of wooden stakes in the 1990s, airrcraft parking was available on the tarmac area making use of the iron ring tie downs.
