I heard the report this morning, but at the time didn’t realise it was Loganair. 🙁 It’s only been a few years since they lost the Shorts in the Firth of Forth.
A sad day for all concerned. 🙁
Yep, they also lost another Islander a few years back at Lerwick 🙁

It’s just been announced that the search for survivors has been called off, owing to the “locating of wreckage”. 🙁
Latest from the BBC report:
“The pilot has been named as Guy Henderson, 40. He was accompanied by paramedic John Keith McCreanor, 35.
Mr Henderson, from Broxburn, and Mr McCreanor, from Paisley, were flying from Glasgow to Campbeltown to pick up a sick child when contact was lost shortly after midnight”.

Was it G-BOMG?
The BBC web page report now has a picture of G-BOMG and a caption underneath saying “The Loganair Islander Islander that crashed into the sea”.
So it could well be G-BOMG, one I’ve seen many times go out on a mission ? 🙁
This is the last shot I took of G-BOMG last summer, as it headed out on a training exercise… 🙁

An accident in any flying organisation that you are associated with is a horrible, horrible, gut wrenching experience, but especially so in a small company like Loganair. My thoughts to all in the Loganair family today, but especially to the families of the crew.
In my day, Macrihanish was an RAF station and although it lacked an ILS, it did operate an excellent PAR (Precision Approach Radar) service, which gave a decision height similar to an ILS. It would appear from the NATS/AIS website, that the military radar has been withdrawn, and only non-precision approaches are likely to be available.
