V-Flyer

In the UK there are a surprising number of 'must do' trips for the travel and aviation fan.

Here's mine (one is inspired by a post pjh made earlier, can you guess which one?)

1. Fly WRY > PPW
That's Westray to Papa Westray; the shortest scheduled flight in the world.
Duration: 2 minutes

Likelihood of me doing this: VERY HIGH - I have family in Kirkwall!

2. Fly to/from BRR
That's Barra Airport, where the runway is on a beach.

Liklehood of me doing this soon: MEDIUM - flight times don't lend themselves to day trips.


3. Go on a Seaplane!
I discovered Loch Lomond Seaplanes do a range of flights from Glasgow - weather permitting
And they have a sale - flights from £99!
LIKELIHOOD: MEDIUM

Have you any to add to the list?

I've always wanted to do the Westray-Papa Westray run. Some day perhaps!

Me too ... V-Flyer trip perhaps ) .

Barra for me, I just love the idea of landing on the beach. I spent some time this year researching a trip and was all set to go before we decided we would go to Brighton instead

Wow that Barra landing is excellent, want to do this!

Even V-Flyers would have a job getting a drinks run in there.
