-11 deg.C. No Problem!
Posted: Tue Dec 28, 2010 5:25 pm
Seasons greetings one and all,
I hope you are enjoying the weather! We have had an awful lot of snow up here, and followed by a very harsh
frozen period. Ground temperatures overnight have dipped to minu 20 deg. C and some daytime temps have been minus 11 or 12!
I have managed to fly though, and realise that one of the main benefits of paying to be based at a regional airport is that winter does not stop play. The runway gets cleared to cater for commercial traffic and we can get out too. Many of my friends at strips have not been so fortunate.
Here are some pictures taken last week on one such flight. The flight was mainly to test a new camera and I just explored the local area. The castle is a ruin from the 1300's in the centre of a loch called Lochindorb, about twenty odd miles East of Inverness. The loch had frozen completely and made for a nice picture with the low sun.
I hope you like them, please post some of your own.
