EGPL>EGQS
At Tiree we entered the Outer Herbrides and with the checklist in hand and new thermos of coffee (and tea) from EGPL the flight continued north across the Isle of North Uist to Harris and Lewis. Stornoway was our introduction to the The Minch as we began the crossing. Past Cape Wrath (best be cautious) and on to the Orkney Islands we pass Hey and then make the big turn to the southwest at Kirkwall (EGPA).
Passing over Wick it’s time to 'fill up the tanks' and RAF Lossiemouth seemed the perfect place as we received a nice welcome from the folks in the tower (or was it the Westland)? Cleared to land on R23, the Sea King was directed to the pad and we were invited over to the mess ... and the dance continues (am I starting to hear those pipes)?
