Stillwater Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 According to our sim, it should still be winter up there in the north. I hope that reality matches this instruction. Taking off from Stornoway... ... across Kylesku bridge, famous, because "it was opened by the Queen on 8 August 1984 at 10.05am, accompanied by Princess Margaret. It was the first bridge the Queen had opened in Scotland since the Forth Road Bridge in September 1964." (if you ever wanted to know it.) Impressive - is this Arkle mountain? Less impressive: The Dounreay nuclear experiment zone. Quite a pity that one often has to read sentences like "Historically much of Dounreay's nuclear waste management was poor. ... predicted that more problems will be encountered from old practices at the site as the decommissioning effort continues. Some parts of the plant are being entered for the first time in 50 years. // ... allowing nuclear fuel particles to be released into the sea, ... . Due to the uranium and plutonium held at the site, it is considered a security risk ..." about such areas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dounreay). Flotta LPG terminal: Kirkwall: Sanday Island with the windmills and jetty of Loth: On final to Sumburgh (default FTX): A king under kings. Obviously the right choice of aircraft here.
