A late dash to Scotland - Ade Hairsine
A very late arranged last trip of the year trip up to
Prestwick today, last night Phil rang me at 23-30 and I was in his car heading
North 4 and a half hours later so not much kip but a very worth while day out
all the same. Phil saw on one of the e-groups there were 4 Afghan AF
Cessna-206's and 3 Iraq AF C-130's arriving at PWK over night all on delivery so
with things like that around you just have to go, An early start for me and an
earlier one for Phil we went direct to Prestwick not there is anywhere else to
call en route anyway.
