Not the same one as before - here is a photo from 2005.
This is a new one - bigger. Top people from visit scotland were down to do with the new golf course etc

Posted: Mon Jul 16, 2007 11:37 pmThe plane is a new, bigger one that the Loch Lomond people have just got. It was carrying a load of folk from VisitScotland who were visiting the site of the new golf course, Springbank Distillery and the rest of Campbeltown. It was supposed to have landed in the loch but landed at Machrihanish instead because they weren't sure if the inner harbour was big enough.

Certainly the same plane. It took off just before 8 tonight from the loch. Think it was a trial run for future trips.

Posted: Tue Jul 17, 2007 1:39 pmnice pic, saw it fly over before it landed, my neighbour got quite excited about it, reminded me of the opening credits to "fantasy island" with the wee guy shouting "it's the plane!!!"
can't remember his name, but we used to call my older cousin by the same name for a laugh when we were younger and he had hair, maybe sweltered will remember?
everybody else called him "schmout" or just "duggie"
