Then later this week i was in Islay finalising plans for its open day/air show on Sunday 19th August. Weather again was fine and the Island was really busy, the agricultural show was on on thursday, came across some locals from the toon, in fact had to run a pair from the show field to the ferry, one is a memebr on here and also is well known on the local radio :wink:

u know who u are

Welcome to islay Airport

Islay terminal building, not a good photo as the building is actually quite nice.

on the way home on the ferry took a couple of snaps of the work at Port Askaig, new pier, linkspan & ramp for the Jura ferry has been/is being built, massive project for the island, over the last years they have removed a whole hill from the area :shock:

Due for completion in october & is going to be 3 months behind schedule

Nice ones Buzz, many a good time spent at the agricultural show. My wife's side of the family lived in Shore Street Bowmore (Campbell) .
When the weans were wee-er we regularly visited the Queen of the Hebrides.
