Barrabados

[paraffin man]

Had the pleasure of going out to Barra this week for work.

Probably the most unusual airfield in the whole of the UK in that the aircraft actually lands on the beach when the tide is out. the flight over & back was breathtaking as you could see all the Islands to the North, East & South of Barra, in fact you could nearly see the wee toon it was that clear.

So what where you on Barra for Parrafin Man, and is there much to do on the island these days?

Inquiring minds want to know!

I take it this is a scheduled flight by LoganScare, ie every day at the same time? So where does the flight land when the tide is in?

PS. Did you know that Barra has the cleanest airport in the world? It's the only one where they wash the runway twice per day

I'll get ma jaiket!
