Duck or grouse part 2

Did you read the blog last Wednesday? The bit about low flying military aircraft? Well, we not really ones to whinge about them. They come through from time to time and generally scare the living daylights out of us (and set off all the car alarms) when they do. But we live with it.


But you do get to thinking what they're targeting as they fly through the glen. Are they on a practice bombing run and if so, given the general lack of buildings in the glen, what might they be fixing on? Clachaig perhaps?

And what if... Well, terrible news today from further south in Argyll, as it seems that a Tornado has indeed crashed near the Rest & Be Thankful.

Makes you wonder...

Duck or grouse

I'm not saying that the military aircraft fly low through Glencoe, but a big chinook helicopter has just flown over the office and the vibrations were such that half a dozen car alarms went off in the car park and my coffee nearly spilled on the desk!


What really annoys me is that those pilots are actually getting paid to have that much fun!
