Broadford

[DispatchDragon]

Sometime ago Simon asked I believe about Broadford Airstrip

I have had the scenery sitting on my desktop for ages - but was loath to release it incase the rivetcounters were around

I was looking at it today and decided to pick up the work again

I found this site quite accidently - http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/Go ... GICqbvMbrQ

It gives some good aerial shots (which is what I had been hoping for) as well as some good shots on the ground

including A RAF SAR Sea King parked on the apron in front of the notorious Portkabins

SO Simon and whoever else - get your Islanders ready - I can have it available very shortly if you still want it


Cheers

Go for it Leif

We can never have too many....especailly the smaller rural pop in and out fun strips

Looking forward to it. Nice flight from and to Glasgow. They used to fly along a glen that went from Loch Slapin to Broadford Bay. Red Cuillins and Blaven on the left as you arrived over Skye. That must have been a fantastic view when it was not cloudy. That was most of the time. Not called 'Eilean a Cheo' for nothing.

Hate to have two threads on the same subject running simulataneously - I posted some shots in the Gallery and Paul (Basys) has been supplying some
photos and good information - the problem seems that every time they hold a festival up there the configuration of the buildings change :brick:
Im presently working on making the tree line more to the aerial photos he provided (read smaller) and then I will let you guys have it if you wish -
All you need now is persuade your boss to build schedules for it -- Im also dicking around with placing the Waverley in the scenery just to add eye candy

Has Broadford been done yet? Just to let you know there is talk on Skye of having a Regional airport?
