I think they’d gone out out of business before I started at Sumburgh (1990) but I remember the name from when my dad worked as a refueller and I would come along in the bowser during the school holidays – back in the good old non-over-the-top-security days:rolleyes::(
Oh to hear a Viscount or 748 again:)
I wish I could too. Ref Air Ecosse, I forgot how long ago that was……..a common failing of us ‘olduns’ you know;)

Awesome prop blur on the Hurc! Maybe try using Custom White Balance for night shots under artificial light (your camera manual will explain how to do that), it will help lessen the yellow tint. 🙂
