*** Gotcha Duncan ! dont blame you either,I see they are trying to put a total ban on flying seaplanes from the lochs,saying that they pollute the water etc the seaplane fraternity are up in arms about this,there are currently 10 seaplanes in Scotland,four of which are commercial operators,there are zillions of water polluting jet-ski's but they dont appear bothered with them ? such a great pity if this goes through,I hope not.

It seems to be one of those missed details of the Right to Roam act. You can now have access to the countryside but only on foot or horseback, no powered vehicles. On water same ,no powered craft , paddle or sail only. The law on trespass in Scotland was very different from English law but "they" would try and get you on "damage to crops" even if it was a blasted heath or bogs. Hope the seaplane guys win. Look up Aerofloat, his floats cost as much as the `plane! Sorry if this is off topic Kiwi, been stormed-off today so will try the backlog. That civvy German Henschel/Heinkel is annoying me. "Civvy" with a cannon through the spinner !!!
