BBC ALBA show on Scottish Airstrips
BBC Alba has an 8 part series starting tonight at 8:30pm on Sky Channel 142 about airstrips around Scotland, may be worth a watch. The shows title is in Gaelic so I haven't a clue what it's called in Engurlish but for you multi linguists or sheep shaggers it's Puirt-adhair.
pb84,
Uncle Google tells me that is “ports air”

Also I had to agree with the ground handler at Wick - as I always have a bottle of Old Pulteney 12yo in stock at home sometimes
To the supporters of Easterton: y'all owe me one for adding the field both at GB-0441 @ OurAirports

Some old footage in there I think as it's a good while since Loganair went to Wick with BA livery but it was lovely to see my childhood home and the cheery Andy Bruce

Forgot to say last night - there are at least 4 episodes of series 1 on youtube.
I only had a quick glance last night and there may be more with a slightly different search term.

I think it's tomorrow nights episode that includes a short piece on certain individuals who not only work hard maintaining grass airstrips but are also devastatingly handsome, highly intelligent and extremely well endowed.

Ah I wondered what BBC ALBA was.
So the licence fee we all have to pay gets you an extra BBC channel in Scotland; something else the Scots are sponging from the English in addition to free prescriptions.http://www.pprune.org/images/icons/46.gif(Why can't I get the 'Red Devil' to appear here?)

Well, Mr Chevvron, sic, you did steal all our oil, all of our land, and we are now slowly but surely, taking it back. Just wait until we FRACK the line between Castle Douglas and Newcastle. An England cast adrift, drifting aimlessly Northwards, cause your European friends wont attach you to their mainland.
