I am aware that these are models I very recently shared here, but I couldn’t resist. The completion of a new diorama board brings the perfect opportunity for a new photoshoot. Pictured parked on the sand of Eoligarry’s Traigh Mhor beach, is G-HIAL, a De Havilland Canada -6 Twin Otter of Loganair, in Saltire livery and with Transport Scotland decals.
Barra Airport (EGPR) is the only airport in the world where scheduled flights land on a tidal beach. Barra has 3 bi-directional runways on Traigh Mhor beach (07/25, 11/29, 15/33), in a triangle pattern, aircraft can essentially always land into the wind. Loganair operated flights to & from Glasgow are Public Service Obligation “lifeline” flights, and so funded or subsidised by government.
