Remember knowing from the sound when Lake Buccaneer G-BBGK was in the area back in the 70s. I think it used Strathallan for maintenance. The sound certainly stood out from the usual Cessnas of AST Perth! Also surprised, given distances and the amount of surface water we have in Scotland, that there aren’t more seaplanes in use. One of the lochs nearby has been used in the past and may possibly be used again though all seems to have gone quiet presently on that plan.

With the current “Summer” weather we could be needing more amphibians up in Scotland

The way it’s going we’ll all be needing webbed feet and gills soon lol

There was a P.166 at Turnhouse on 24th July. Too far away to get reg. though.
