Couldn’t resist Moondance, hope you don’t mind? Thought I’d try and eek a bit more detail out of this shot…

Not at all – what are you using – most of the scans have need a little tweeking (I’ve got Photoshop Leading Elements, that came bundled with the scanner)
Final few….maybe time to start a ‘Vintage GLA’ thread (there’s loads more!), featuring that other ‘Scottish’ airline (in name only by the 1980s) and a mystery C-47 (no idea where it was going) plus a couple of Tri-bombers (for Ren) on Area 100.

Some more from Barra (I was clearly intent on using my new polarising filter!)

The mystery turbo trainer was the NDN-1T Firecracker, developed by Des Norman from the piston engined NDN-1 Firecracker (pic 1 at Farnborough 1980, pic 2 at Sunderland 1981). It was a contender for the RAF trainer contract, and a small batch were used by Specialist Flying Training at Carlisle. As they were PT6 powered (same engine in the Twotter, Shed and Bandit), they occasionally nipped into Loganair for engine work.
Look what else I found – Iberia 747 in 1985, Trackers on delivery to France in 1984.

Much nicer in the summer I’m sure you’ll agree Moondance? What altitudes would you typically operate in with those Islander and Twotter trips ?

The weather could be deadful in winter, but given one of those big winter high pressures sitting over Western Scotland, and the visibility could be almost unlimited (last 4 pix all taken on the same day – see the snow on distant mountains!)
The first three must have been taken on a trip up to Shetland, looks like FL90-ish. As for the others, looks like 2000ft-ish…flying VFR you could be as low as 500ft. (sometimes required for the ambulance, when the doc specified flying as low as possible), but normally 2000-3000ft.

I know what I viscount looks like

Sorry, of course you do, just I’d scanned those Viscount ones and seemed like a good excuse to post them.

Looks like a Tucano but I know it isn’t

Correct its not (but it was bidding for the RAF contract that was won by the Tucano).
And yes, it is a Potez 840 (I know that ‘cos it says so in little letters on the base of the fin!)

As for your quizz… looks like an early Jetstream

A four engined Wetdream? – nil points!

A wee excursion to Kirkwall for the week, one of my favourite places in Scotland (and despite its geographical closeness to Shetland, a totally different place)
