Visited on 16th April 2008, stiff easterly wind makes 20 a bumpy approach with some wind shear, it was too windy across the runway the next day to call in for fuel. The viz was unlimited and I agree must be the best view from an airfield in the country. No cafe on the site, staff were most helpful trying to get in touch with Barra for us to land on the beach strip. We did not manage to raise them though. Think they need to get a tea machine in at least for thirsty pilots!

Took nine aircraft from Blackpool via Castle Kennedy to Oban on 14th May. This is the sixth year we have done this fly-out (Westair & BAE Flying Clubs) and it just gets better. Can there be a more spectacularly located airfield in Britain? Paul Keegan, friendly as ever, had a hectic day with so many movements that parking space was at a premium.
The Lochnell Arms, just re-furbished reserved us three tables outside on a warm and sunny day and the food was superb. We'll be back again next year if not before.
