A frozen Scone 16 Dec 18

Post by wallace »

I got the heads up about the Avanti and went up to Scone more in hope than anything else.
Storm Dreich passed through yesterday dumping a load of snow which partially thawed and then refroze creating some slippy conditions, so much so that the training was cancelled because of it. However that did not deter some from landing.

A visitor from Errol for maintenance

Frozen power lines up in the Angus Glens brought this Squirrel in for linesmen, then fuel and finally to drop them off at the end of the day.

Another visitor, also in for maintenance was this Cessna 206 from Strathallan

The Longranger one could be their Xmas card next year. Nicely done.
