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

Well done P - in true Blue Peter fashion - 'here's one I prepared earlier'. I see you even used double-sided sticky tape for speed :lol:

The said plane was sitting at the terminal tonight when I came home, at half 8ish.

The 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.

nice 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"

"DE PLANE! DE PLANE"... shouted Tattoo at the start of each episode of Fantasy Island.

The very first series started on the UKTV Gold channel last night.
