We took the plane from Kirkwall to North Ronaldsay when we were in Orkney in the late 70s. The runway was a field then and they literally shood the cows out as the plane approached. For a 6 year old, that made the trip, as the wheels kicked up the cow pats, which hit the propellors and splattered all over the side of the plane! I dined out on that for months! 😂
I lived in Orkney for 56 years and loved going to the northern isles on the Islander. A wonderful, almost heroic, little plane. Tough as as old boots. And an iconic sound when you are a passenger. Miss hearing it going overhead, as there is no air traffic where I now live. Thanks for posting!
Small passenger aircraft are such fun. No frills, and real life geography lessons. My smallest was in New Hampshire, New England in a four-seat Cessna, then in an eight-seater to Boston's Logan, then an American Airlines' Boeing 747 back home to Bermuda. My smallest and largest ever planes in the same day. Probably my most unusual flight was in early 1944 as a littte tyke with my mother in a BOAC Boeing 314 flyingboat from Bermuda to Baltimore. Alas I was too young to remember it!
Those BN Islanders are the aviation equivalent of a Land Rover. Used to love flying in them and their big brother the Trislander around the Channel Islands
Loved the pre-flight safety check " has everyone got their seat belt on ?" the pilot earns his keep on that route , talk about multi tasking ! . Looks like none of that Sunday trading hours nonsense up there , it's the Sabbath , deal with it ! Those islanders have to be a special breed to live up there , I can imagine it being a hard life .
Another wonderful wee film, isn't it lovely to fly over all the islands at low altitude, and wasn't it great to have such a super view of the controls and to see out the front of the plane! You had a fine spot on the beach for your camp - did any seals bob up to check you out? I did this flight several years ago and we stayed in the community hostel with pre-ordered evening meal provided by a local lady. Next day there was a coffee morning in the local community centre and a good few of the local folk were there, including the nurse, the GP and the local MP who was having a clinic that day. The home baking at the coffee morning was superb!
And to think people go to the Carribbean for white beaches and blue water!!! We've got it all in Scotland, well nearly all. Could be a bit warmer!!! Great plane trip, the wife totally wants to go to Orkney now so another trip from the Steve Marsh playbook👍 cheers M8🏴🇳🇱
What a wonderful view from that plane. And that beach was so pretty. Amazes me that so many of Scotland's beaches look like something you'd see in the Caribbean. I also agree about that airport interior and its decor. Beautiful! Brent said he'd love to take that flight! Glad to see you didn't get blown out to sea in that little tent. My back has told me that tent camping is no longer allowed. 😁
My back is making very similar hints :) I'd love to understand more about why we have such spectacular beaches and colours along our coastline, I'm always blown away by it!
Can’t tell you how refreshing this is, Steve. Just what we need today.here on the Oklahoma plains with temps in spiraling up to 100F/38C by afternoon. Ah. Just to see a bit of Scotland. Land of our daydreams. Thanks so much for this video. Much appreciated!
Hi Karen, you’re surname is so close to mine it’s must be a derivative of the name, I’m from Ireland and my wife and I just love the west coast of Scotland we’ve visited it countless times over the years and you will never be disappointed no matter where you go, where we live in Ireland we can see Scotland,it’s only 2 hours by ferry, put it on your bucket list and if you’re over that far come to Ireland also , it’s a beautiful place to visit as well, enjoy the weather in Oklahoma it’s never sunny for long here besides the sea
@@johnmehaffey9953 How kind of you to reply, John! Yes! My husband’s family does come from Ireland, Dublin area apparently, and I believe the names are akin. They are wonderful, strong, bright bunch. A close family, very good in maths, who seem to have scores of sons. Ha! Probably not going to run out of Mahaffeys or Mehaffeys any time soon. Thankfully, we are much cooler here now. In the 70’s and 80’s and our skies are blue. Oklahoma is a brilliant place in the fall, for a few brief weeks. Then, wham. Much colder! We’re waiting and longing for the vaccine for our grandkids, 5, 8, and 11, so we can take them to our favorite places, Scotland and Ireland. I’m half and half- Ruthven, so you know I’ll be hoping to work in some highlands time too! And O’Bannon, so Belfast and Kilkenny as well. Aren’t we lucky to have Steve Marsh on the trail out there checking these things out for us? Happy trails!
Well what can I say another amazing video and as for the scenery up there its absolutely stunning and camping on the beach me and kean are so jealous lol your videos still inspire kean to find more stunning places to visit in your fair land and as soon as I'm well enough to travel we are definitely coming to invade Edinburgh 🙂kean eas so jealous that you got to sit behind the pilot and see how he flysheet the plane and he asks did you see any houses you want to live in lol I guess I speak for most of your subscribers your video series is amazing and kean has sent some more pocket money so you can continue entertaining us thank you again for a cracking video stay safe out there and hopefully we will be in Scotland soon best wishes from joff and kean
My partners great, great grandfather emigrated from papay in the 1850's. We hope to visit next time we get to the UK so it was lovely to watch your video and get a taste of it.
I've flown in many aircraft, tiny ones and huge ones, slow ones and very fast ones but flying round the Orkney Islands in the co-pilot's seat of an Islander has been one of the biggest highlights. I would love to do it again. For any aviation enthusiast it's highly recommended!
A great wee island adventure for £20 each return, that was amazing, a good short haul trip all round, you both had a good view as well, your overnight stay site was just wonderful, and good facilities nearby what more could you want! even a rainbow 🌈 greeted you on reaching that lovely white Sandy beach 🏝 most enjoyable as always Steve & Alicja thank you for another memorable visit to ‘Bonny Scotland’ 🤗👍
@@steve-marsh Brilliant, I always treated myself to a souvenir every time I visited Scotland, always wanted a magnificent statue of a Stag, when we visited ‘Kingussie’ the local gift shop had one for years, I don’t think anyone could afford to purchase it, including me!🙁 cheers 🍻
Thoroughly enjoying your trips - I think the northern Scottish and islands are so beautiful. Just returned from a trip to Norway and Iceland so it felt familiar. Thank you for sharing. Linda in Australia
Well, all I can say is if your pilot isn't an expert at take off and landing by now, he never will be 😁 Nice video mate, always love anything about the islands. Cheers, Norm in Yorkshire 😉
I love your Scottish travels so much ...The beach you camped on was beautiful..similar sand colour to Iona....I'm planning a trip to Orkney this Autumn .....May just have to try an Island hop 😂😂😂.. Thanks for sharing both 😊😊😊😊
I have thurly enjoyed your video, going from one Island 🏝️ to another Island, l have never done this flight in my life but have seen video's of it l would love to do it sometime, but thanks a million for putting it on U Tube - what a trimendous video ( keep it up)
Thank you again for sharing your adventures with all of us, I'm loving seeing new places and old ones as well. Also, thanks very much for the post card, it arrived earlier this week and my staff loved the drawing of the puffin. I had to tell them what kind of bird it was! I was amused in your last video to see you boarding the ferry at Scrabster knowing you both had driven up the A9 and right past where I lived briefly in Thurso as one of the few Americans in town! Thank you both again!!! Keep safe and well.
You're very welcome Raymond - I did say to Alicja to write puffin beside her lovely sketches :) Still looking at property in Thurso - we would it such a friendly wee place :)
I love flying in the Islander. Like flying in a car! A wonderful plane, providing lifelines in all the northern isles. Watching your Orkney videos has given me a terrible attack of nostalgia for the islands.
Was very lucky to visit Papa last year taking in the shortest flight. What a memorable place, just stunning. This video brought back great memories. Thank you.
Brings back memories of our own 10k run which included running from our campsite to the airport on WR… flying to PWR … running to the ferry terminal .. ferry to PW .. and then a wee run back to the campsite :)
@@steve-marsh I'm what's called a "rampie" at Kirkwall Airport. That is to say I work on "The ramp" which is to say the area that the aircraft park on. Anyhoo, the rampie who is operating the Aviramp (disabled access mobile ramp) on the day you head out to Papay is me. And on the day you return one of the two fellas standing at the foot of an Aviramp is me too. Blink and you'll miss me!
Hi Steve or Yazo Stefeno What's marriage got to with the price of bread? Well, just to keep diplomatic channels open between Greece and that wet place above Cumbria I'll answer. I've been married for 14 years. (Can't remember breaking two mirrors). Boom boom. Thanks Les Dawson for that line. Greece would love to see you Guys. Take care and or course regards from Loutraki Greece
It's amazing you can have such an adventure in such little time. Great video Steve and Ailcja. Richard loved being able to watch the pilot, and the scenery was beautiful. Scotland = what a treasure! 🥰
Love this video. BN Islander is one of my favorite airplanes and this one is in very good condition. Thanks for sharing this adventure i enjoyed the views very much. Greetings from sunny Jamaica.
Thank you again Steve. An absolute delight. Learning about such places is a real treat and what a bonus to see the world's shortest scheduled flight. Another wonderful edit. Cheers 🍻.
Thank you for “taking one for the team” and sleeping in a tent on the beach for our entertainment. 😀 And thanks for the postcard - loved the puffin! 👍🏼
Bravo! Excellent video. I was a little bit taken aback when I first saw blade optical illusion and then I realized what it was right before you said and we went through a lot of blades. Stay well, be safe, love from Texas.
Thanks again Steve for a brilliant video. Love seeing all these 'off the beaten track' places. Colours of the water round them small islands is superb.
You’ve done it again. I went on an another enjoyable journey and a flight as well, all from the comfort of my favourite armchair. Thanks for posting this.
Many thanks for the "bonus" to the Orkney trip, you never disappoint mate, and dziekuje to Alicja for supplying the glamour on the trip....you work well together.!
Enjoyed that flight. Just had to smile coz the aircraft was so cute! I'd love to have an Orkney experience, quite a different world to most of us I imagine. Thanks for sharing Steve!
Just found you great videos, I have spent my life flying/driving to Orkney as my family are from there. Did you know the pictures that you panned across in the lounge are made from linoleum!? They are truly amazing!
I remember flying to Broadford Isle of Skye on a Loganair Islander. I returned to Glasgow on a Loganair Twin Otter. I must say i really enjoyed my flights with Loganair. I really wish they had kept their Skye flights on. I know i am not alone in this.

That pilot must have the best job on earth

I was waiting for him to get the kettle on :)
I sat next to Buddy Holly on one flight....
No Sunday trading laws in Scotland there hasn't been any for a very long time
I like the joke about the planes blades lol

Parachuted out of one these a few years back . The islander is a fantastic little aircraft to have for small airports .

Haha your wife has great ideas :)
What gorgeous colours in the sea. That turquoise wouldn't look out of place in the tropics
So true! Stunning coastline :)

I never tire of that wonderful engine sound!

Sounds like some sort of military name to me lol
Agreed. I'd like to hear 'Papa Westray' added to the shipping forecast! :)

Totally agree with you regarding Kirkwall airport, an all time favourite.
Glad you agree Stuart - love that place, would go there just for lunch and a good view :)
Always something to look forward to in your videos Steve thanks for sharing this one mate.
Glad you enjoyed it Andy! :)
Excellent 😊
Wow... untouched beautiful and rugged
Thank you again Steve. An absolute delight. Learning about such places is a real treat and what a bonus to see the world's shortest scheduled flight. Another wonderful edit. Cheers 🍻.
Cheers mate, it was surreal to watch that wee flight from the island :)
Worth a like purely for the beach.
I love your videos Steve. They are so well filmed and interesting..
Thanks so much Pete!
Loved the side trip to Papa Westray!
The pilot asks if everyone has got their seat belts on, lol. Just like checking up on the kids in a car.
Haha so true Heather, that was our safety briefing :)
Thank you for “taking one for the team” and sleeping in a tent on the beach for our entertainment. 😀 And thanks for the postcard - loved the puffin! 👍🏼

Love it . Thank you both .
Our pleasure Odet!
Love that you can see your plane taking off coming to collect you !
A weird experience David! Very unique :)
Ahahahahaha. That inhale and stifled reaction at 12:48.
Another beautiful new adventure and so loved it.
That beach! A slice of heaven indeed!
Couldn't believe it was all ours!
Reminds me of my air trips across the Canadian Arctic in small planes.
Superb vlog Steve, many thanks 👍🇮🇲
Bravo! Excellent video. I was a little bit taken aback when I first saw blade optical illusion and then I realized what it was right before you said and we went through a lot of blades. Stay well, be safe, love from Texas.
Thanks so much Kate! All the best to you in the wonderful Lone Star State!
Thanks again Steve for a brilliant video. Love seeing all these 'off the beaten track' places. Colours of the water round them small islands is superb.

Paradise. I'm scared of flying but could do that no probs. Added to my bucket list.

Thanks for yet another great journey very enjoyable, hope you are both well, stay safe and look forward to seeing you soon, cheers.
