Aerial Activity


We were disturbed last night while watching the news at ten by a helicopter circling around Beinn Bhraggie which....

....from this close-up, looks like one of HM Coastguard's Search & Rescue machines.

We learned this morning that it was part of a search for a missing 77-year old trail biker who didn't return home as expected in the afternoon.

Another helicopter, perhaps a police machine, was over the ben at eleven this morning, but the latest news is that the pensioner was found safe and well after he was, to quote the BBC, "....traced on Tuesday in the local area," which sounds very embarrassing for somebody.

This afternoon the sky was marked by something very unusual these days, a con trail. It could be the RAF hunting a Russian intruder but it might also be a passenger 'plane offering the latest in holidays for those who love flying but don't want to risk facing quarantine on their return - a flight round and round in circles over the UK.
