Wed 16 Jul - Stephen Nuttall - 0.5 NM North of HMS Nightjar
| “ | Visited Oban 7 to 11 July and everything that has ever been said about this beautiful location still holds true. Now run by Argyll and Bute council (and subject of various debates here and elsewhere!) the airfield is in superb condition and the terminal now has drinks and chocolate vending machines available. Paul Keegan still provides fuel, flying advice and the best tea/coffee and jammy dodgers in town. Truly, Paul is what GA all about - friendly, helpful and full of local flying, travelling, and accommodation information. He pointed us to a local B&B on the opposite side of the bridge from the airfield. It was super, with the best Scottish breakfast ever and friendly owners. The Blue Oyster pub next door was great too. We wathed RAF hercules do missed approaches at midnight - hope they had NVGs!
If you never go to another airfield in Scotland, go here and say hello to Paul Keegan. This is the very best in GA and we need to support it.
Nearly forgot - we had a train day on Wednesday and travelled from Oban to Mallaig via Crianlarich and Fort William, coming back from Mallaig to FW by steam train! This must be the most spectacular rail journey in Britain and the cost was just over £30 return for a full day out. (Plus an extra £24.00 for the steam train) Catering on the ordinary and steam train was available all day and I highly recommend it: this is a train journey for pilots - the train went fromm sea level to the highest rail summit on Britains railways (well over 1,000 feet) amidst stunning scenery - do it! ” |
