Went up to Oban on Saturday, nice weather over at Oban but on the way back to Glasgow, the clouds started getting a bit low….

Janie,
She actually floated halfway down the runway then ballooned and I remember some comment like “will you have enough fuel to backtrack all the way along the runway” :p
Not to say I’ve never done that as well 🙂

Good heavens. That’s quite remarkable. I never realised that women were smart enough to fly.
I wonder how she managed to find time away from the housework!
Seriously though. Thanks for the pics. Last time I was in Oban was 1981, when I had walked there from half way down Loch Shiel and pitched tent outside a pub. Flying is definitely preferable – as soon as the housework is done, of course!

very interesting, I’ll get there someday. I’ve heard it’s compulsory to carry jammy dodgers when flying to Oban. 🙂
Weather round Cumbernauld was fine on Sat morning, but cloud came over at 2500, but a nice day for flying.
