I thought that the NOTAMs from a couple of weeks ago might have been interesting.

I was wrong.

Methinks that a fair lot of the sky in less busy parts of Scotland is about to get a little bit busier… Of course, none of that is of any use to me, however this may be:

My double checking facilities for maps are a little limited just now, but I think that that means there’s some filming going on round about here. Which would be nice to gatecrash, don’t you think?
