If anyone has seen the latest issue of Go Flying, you will have seen some of these images. Several weeks back we flew up to Inverness, to visit the Highland flying school at the airport. It’s a stones throw from Loch Ness and we wanted to get some air to airs over the scenery. As is the way in Scotland in February, the weather was not kind, and we were treated to some heavy rain, strong winds and generally rubbish visibility. Thankfully a window of weather arrived (no sun mind you!) and we captured the following images. If anyone is visiting Inverness, take a trial lesson with these guys and see the Highlands from the air – it’s a superb sight.

Yes, the majority of the fleet appeared to be Tommahawks. As you can see from the pictures, we did two sorties, as the ‘instructor’ (present to give local area recon on the first shoot) was not in all the images.

But using Traumahawks and not Robins?
And the instructor (?) gets no marks for flying in a hi-viz

Yes it was the Cessna. It’s not a bad camera ship, as the window swings up out of the way. It was flippin cold however, as it was snowing at one point! A great crowd at the flying school.

Really good images Darren despite the conditions.Its a nice surprise to see my local club featured.Were you using the 172 as a camera platform?

Moggy,
There is a connection with Air Atlantique, but I am not sure of the details. The outfit along side the flying school share the same logo as the Coventry outfit as well.

Is that the Atlantique / Atlantic subsidiary?
I thought they flew Robin 200s now?

Looks like you had nicely painted, decent Tommies to work with, Darren!
