"Putting the excitement back into air travel, sometimes too much so."

This weekend, I took the smallest plane of my life, flying from one remote Scottish island to another. Yes indeed, the plane was much smaller even than our beloved GERTI from Cabin Pressure. :-)

Here it is, with a fuel truck and a baggage cart for scale...




And here's a view over the pilot's shoulder, coming in to land. Yes, it was the kind of plane that's the size and shape of a minivan (and the engine sounds like one too...), and my seat was directly behind the not-at-all-separated-off cockpit. Like Arthur from Cabin Pressure, my main role was to sit there and be REALLY excited.
