Britain is back out of lockdown! And my first trip was to...the Mull of Kintyre, taking in the shortest standalone flight on the island of Great Britain (alright, yes, Papa Westray-Westray is shorter but not technically on the island of GB, and you can still book Glasgow-Edinburgh too but that's a technical stop rather than a standalone route so...hey, everyone needs clickbait!). Enjoy the video, from a beautiful part of the world.

The only commercial aircraft that I have flown that did not have a cockpit door was the British Aerospace Jetstream 31. And for someone who is approximately 6 feet tall ducking was a must. I flex once in seat 1b and since I there is no space for my bag the Captain told me to place it behind his seat.
I flew out of there way back in the last 80s with the US Navy fun story I recieved my US navy Aircrew wings in a Pub in Campbeltown on the 4th of July lol what a night that town will always have a special place in my heart :)
Which pub? I think we know them all. Burnside is my in-laws .
Loved it! Great to see these smaller scale journeys, planes and airports. And always great to see the landscapes of Scotland. Thanks ever so much!
Cheers! Also one of the few parts of the country to have (almost) no railways at all, ever. Was surprised to see there had *never* been a main line service to Glasgow etc!
The LOWlands - you ain't seen nothing of Scotland's landscape until you see the HIGHLands.
Business class reviews are fine, but this is much more interesting. Great video.
I did the same trip a couple of years ago, just for the hell of it. The only difference was I did it in a day, taking the bus in the morning and the afternoon flight back to Glasgow. Oh, and I walked from Campbeltown to the airport rather than taking a taxi and still got there the early enough that the door was locked!
I did the bus up and the bus back.
It was a long day but worth it......
@@s125ish It's about three and a half miles and I seem to remember it took me about an hour.
Oh the memories of serving at RAF Machrihanish 77-79.
I flew that route many times firstly in a BA viscount then a Logan air trilander.
They were bumpy rides! 😁
Thanks for the memories of happy days.
Thanks for sharing the memories!
Thank you for the look around Campbeltown, Paul. It brought back some lovely memories of the 6 weeks I spent working on my second novel. The people are the best in the world and the scenery is breathtaking,
14:34 is a good shot of a lenticular cloud(cigar shaped), always a visual clue of bumpy air ahead for a clued in pilot. Great vid.
Didn't see any mist rolling in from the sea but I can see your desire is always to be there. Also, in that bathroom you can do nr1 and nr2 at the same time! Oh wait, that's a bidet :D
😂 was waiting for someone witty . Well done
You wonder where Paul is...
I'd forgotten how quickly those twin otters can take off, that was great
That is what they were built for. Short takeoff and landing. And can be fitted with floats for water landing.
Oh that was marvelous! I so appreciate you letting the scenery, the views from the plane, do the talking. Thank you from Texas!
Such a gorgeous country. I should imagine the hotel would be bewildered by your description of retro. It's state of the art.
The last time I was in Scotland was 32 years ago, a rather bleak two weeks working in Glasgow. I really had no desire to revisit it, until covid hit and I started watching more videos on here, between yours and a series on the NC500 at Vistwithus (Great channel that really needs to get more viewers than it does) I am now turning into my parents and thinking very hard about a highlands trip.
Visit with us a great channel and I agree - they should have so many more subscribers. The NC500 looks amazing - one day!
My dad was part of an American Air Force unit stationed at RAF Bentwaters back in the 50s. I lived there for a year. I dont remember the base but I remember going shopping with my mom as she pushed my brother in his pram, and the swans in the park. I know the base is closed but would love to revisit the area someday.
Like watching your videos, especially the ones of your short excursions around the UK.
First journey you’ve ever posted that I have done myself, both by bus and plane, love to see it!
My only advice flying the Twin Otter - REMEMBER TO DUCK
… quack 🦆
When you are short statured like me -- 5'5" {~165 cm} --that is NOT much of a problem...😊

My shortest scheduled flight, Galway to the Arán islands,, 10 minutes flying time. Your cases are loaded behind the seats and we had to move our heads as the pilot needed to see to "reversed" out 😁
It's amazing how quickly that aircraft jumps off the tarmac! A great video, and thanks for a quick look at Campbeltown as well. It's looks charming.
I’ve ridden on and operated the Beech 1900D. It has a cockpit door that doesn’t lock, but we normally kept the door open. The passengers absolutely loved having that door opened. So entertaining for them!
The Airport is so cute! And what a wee town! Scotland has amazing sceneries. I got in love with Scotland watching SteveMarsh’s Channel.
Good to see you traveling again. I cross my fingers that opening will continue!

Flew this route back in the 90s for work - there and back in a day. Yes I love flying in these small planes where you can see what the pilot is doing. You get this on some flights to and from the Isle of Man especially from Liverpool. I remember flying from Southend to Ostend back in the 80s when the co-pilot served us coffee from a thermos flask during the flights.☕️
Love flying on the twin otter. One of the perks of work.
I took many Twin Otter flights back in the 1980s and early 1990s from our small local airport in Elliot Lake, Ontario, Canada (YEL) to the major regional airport in Sudbury (YSB), connecting there with Air Canada to Toronto (YYZ). Since Elliot Lake was a brief stopover on a through flight, the starboard engine was left running! The captain stayed on the flight deck, while the first officer came back, opened the door, handled baggage unloading and loading, and then welcomed the joining passengers -- all in 5 minutes or less. Doors closed, port engine fired up again, and off we went. Also, on those flights with NorOntair, both captain and first officer used their hands to hold the ceiling throttles on the full-power takeoffs. If weather was clear and calm, they would fly the entire route VFR at just 1000 feet altitude, always a spectacular experience. And I loved watching the landing out the front through the flight deck -- your video, with the 2 camera angles, was especially good at that point! Sadly, NorOntair is long gone now.
Campbeltown is a lovely place, stopped in there on a tall ship voyage a few years ago, great video as always Paul 👍
Took flying lessons at Edinburgh airport, the walk to the aircraft was relaxing with the sound of birds and the odd aircraft.
I've been on a Twin Otter several times but in warmer parts of the world, both on land and sea. It's a great little aircraft, and being able to see out of the cockpit windows and watch the instrument panels is a bonus.
Really awesome! I've been on a Twin Otter seaplane from Victoria to Vancouver, the PT6 engines sound really great!
I sat in the seat behind the pilot, no cockpit door ( No co-pilot ) in April 2001 in a Briton Norman Islander from St Just ( Penzance ) to St Marys ( Isles of Scilly ) lovely flight took around 15-20 minutes for a 26 mile journey, first time I had ever flown, and apart from a pleasure trip from weston super mare beach and a trip up and down the severn estuary in a Bristows Helicopter pleasure ride, I think around £15 for 10 minutes and a short helicopter flight over West Bromwich in an army helicopter from Sandwell Valley Country Park for Free, as part of the armies Armex 76 event in of course 1976 ! thats my cv of flying, just started to browse your vide os again after a gap of several years, particuarly liked this campeltown to glagow one, many similarities with the IOS one, thanks for sharing this very interesting video
I worked on Das Island in the Persian Gulf between 1980 and 1986. We got there and back on Twin Otters, sober going in drunk coming back out. You got in at midnight, so you obviously heard it as the runway was very near to the accommodation, and you could smell it. If a pal was coming in we always met them off the plane commiserating them for having to come back for another six weeks work. Leave started in our minds when the the first prop stated to revolve.
Nice to see the scenery in your video, there isn't any scenery between Das and Abu Dhabi.
did fly on one of these 6 twin otters, south jersey airways, from cape may to atlantic city to philadelphia., loved every minute of it
11:37 Ooh, what a sound
Love a bit of real flying. Gets the blood circulating and nerves tingling.
Reminds me of flying in the 80s and nineties in the states. Cockpit door open on takeoff and landing closed enroute. From the aisle you could see the lineup the pilot maintains on the runway during landing. The good old days!!!!!
I love the way the throttle handle on the Twin Otter is up top - always makes it look like the pilot is hanging on! 😂
The reason for the step in the bathroom is likely because that building likely had the indoor plumbing added at a much later date than its origin. The raised floor makes space for the plumbing below (probably the traps for the toilet & bidet), because the original floor joists aren't deep enough. I took a quick look at the comments and didn't see it mentioned, so I hope this isn't a repeat of someone else's comment. Anyway, I enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work!
Fantastic aircraft Paul. Very expertly flown. Scotland is by far an absolute gem.
Loganair frequent flyer member here... have been on those planes to/from Tiree & Barra. Great fun. Hebridean flies something smaller out of Oban to Coll, Colonsay & Tiree - mostly for the islands' secondary school kids who are boarders in Oban during the week. Think you can sometimes do a day trip coming back by ferry.
Fab video, and yes I have flown the Twin Otter before. One time between Barra and Benbecula, then back to Benbecula which was wonderful. But one of the best flights is the Twin Otter from Lands End to St Mary's Isles of Scilly. They used to have Britten Norman Islander's on that route, if you struck lucky you could sit next to the pilot, sadly now they do not operate them, but at least they do have Helicopters back again.
Great video as always! You get the balance bang on each time. I hadn't even given it a thought that oil rigs needed to be dismantled!
Great video! The Gaelic for Campbeltown is Ceann Loch Chille Chiarain which is a super cool and super long name! It means "The Head of St Ciaran's Loch". By contrast, the Isle of Iona, also in Argyll is simply Ì in Gaelic.
This is by far more enjoyable and informative review than of those transcontinental over the top first class middle eastern airlines. More content like this would be a nice expansion of your channel.
I flew in similar Beechcraft 1900 for many years as my company used for travel between head office and refinery site about 500 kms away...
It used to take about 1 hr 30 min but during monsoon and storms, it used to be experience of life time...
At times, it used to change altitude by few hundred metres within few seconds 😀
Did the wire the door close with a coat hanger 🥸
Great Video! Funny I was just thinking about this route a few weeks ago and if I should consider trying it. Having seen this, I definitely think I’ll be getting booked soon. ✈️
Hi Paul I remember around 50 plus years ago staying at the Argyll Arms in Campbeltown with my late parents. In these days it was a favourite for holidaymakers to spend their "September weekend" similar to the English late summer bank holiday. The flight saves a tortuous drive either by bus or car from the Glasgow area. Great video and regards from a very long exiled Scot in retirement.
That's a pretty cool livery with the Scottish flag accents
Loganair are my favourite British airline! Love this livery.
@@Paul_Lucas VK (300 serries) has the Logan Air colours where as the other 2(400 serries) are owned by the Scottish Government and leased to Logan Air who run the PSO routes to Campbeltown, Barra Tiree etc
Very interested to see this video. I was raised in Beith which is shown at 16:32. When I was in elementary school (ca. 1950) the teacher would point out the Campbeltown plane flying by at around 9:30 am. Loanhead quarry (seen at 16:38) is very close to Beith - it's a real eyesore, alas. Thanks for posting this.
I was impressed by that landing. Not even a slight bump xx
I love going back and watching these videos, time and time again…. It’s just so much different from what you usually do and it has a wonderfully nostalgic quality about it.
I know you probably don’t have too many opportunities to take domestic flights like this. But I hope you do and continue to feature them.
Thanks again Paul, I remember flights Southamton to Ch.Islands aircraft only had a curtain across cockpit. Also this flight is about same as Larnaca to Beirut, no sooner up than coming down. Stay safe on your travels.
The combination of the captions and the voice overs made this. Utterly there in the moment and I had all the post-experience trivia. Here's your future!
😀 I have flown in and out of Mustique a few times on the Twin otter, great fun. As you say - very cool being able to watch the landing through the open cockpit. Great video 👍
the old HMS Campbeltown was named after this place, she was also taken by the Dutch navy and called HNLMS Campbeltown. This places name was made famous in the St Nazaire Raid during WW2.
In 1985, my husband and I took a Beechcraft King Air from Brisbane to Norfolk Island, via Lord Howe Island.
It wasn't until we were onboard I found out that the toilet was a commode under the seat in the last row. If a passenger needed it, the only privacy they had, was a curtain to pull around them ! 😂.
Hubby and I sat in the first row, and after the plane reached cruising altitude, the Captain turned around , and asked me to open the Thermos, and pour the coffee to pass back to the other passengers. Then he opened up his newspaper, and proceeded to read it, only looking up occasionally to check the dials 😂
Flew this route a couple weeks ago with a layover in Islay. Great flight! highly recommended to any avgeeks looking for a day out from Glasgow!
Thanks so much for this report - that was fun. I always enjoyed flying on the Twin Otter. Once upon a time there was a commuter airline that flew them from JFK Airport to a small suburban airport in New Jersey. The flights were rather brief but to me the best part was taxiing around Kennedy and mixing in with the big boys and looking up at them. The Otter was always solid and comfortable.
Thanks for the video… Brought back a lot of great memories of actually flying a Twin Otter (Co-Pilot on a private one).
Yes, I have flown a lot of aircraft with no Cockpit Door - The most unexpected was a BAE-146.
Glad it wasn’t my bathroom… I’m mobility scooter bound 🙂
Always lovely to hear birdsong at any airport.
Thanks again for the video… It helps me focus on something else…. 🙂
Yes - I remember flying on an aircraft with no cockpit door. It was on a Grumman Goose belonging to Chalks Airline flying out of Miami to the Bahamas.
One of the memorable moments of the trip was the way the water was spraying into the cabin through the defective door seals at one part of the take off run.
what a great flight and superb scenery. Nice to see you releasing new videos Paul. Hopefully more to come as we (hopefully) get things open again.
Welcome to Bonnie Scotland....See this flight either departing Glasgow or returning to Glasgow from Ardrossan regularly. The Campbelltown-Ardrossan ferry service currently isn't operating. Feels odd watching this vlog and seeing places I instantly recognise suxh as Hunterston.
Great video this one Paul. Felt much more real world and authentic during these times. Made me want to go and do this trip myself. Thanks 😄
I flew this aircraft from Barra to Glasgow a few years ago. It was stunning. Last week I took a scenic flight from Oban to Tiree and back via Coll on Hebridean Air Services BN 2 Islander. It’s an amazingly beautiful part of Scotland to fly over.
RE Aircraft with no Cockpit Doors ; In 1984 I flew in a Gruman Flying boat from Auckland Harbour to the Coromandel Peninsula and back, that aircraft had no cockpit door.. The company was SeaBee Air and ran scheduled air services out of Auckland Harbour New Zealand, on the way back I asked and was able to sit in the cockpit in the right hand seat, the aircraft was single piloted. I particularly remember a very steep descent in to the harbour. Sadly it was in the days before GoPros and home videos.
We have done this flight several time. My wife was born and raised in Campbeltown. Moved to SC in her twenties. Nothing prettier than the bus ride from Glasgow with the beautiful views around the Lochs tho.
Regardless of how crude the experience can be, the Twin Otter is a special plane that is still just as valid today as it was decades ago when it was first made.
Hi Paul
What a great aircraft and flown by real pilots. Some great scenary too.
I visited the old RAF base whilst in the RAF and Campbeltown is a great place with great people.
Keep up the great reviews.
Kind regards
DS
Took this flight a couple of times when I was young, before one flight a wasp had stung me on my sucking finger. Unfortunately I was still learning to talk and my S’s sounded like F’s and was determined to tell the whole flight I’d been stung on sucking finger...
That was a pretty long hike.
Bet they roared.
Love the landing view! Please do more of these type of flights as they're super interesting to watch. Love your videos!
Beautiful! Keep them coming, small plane, big jet, all locales!
Great video. Thank you.
Hopefully things will get better and travel will open again. Head for the Seychelles. Similar situation to here. Mahe airport runway is long to accommodate arriving longhaul aircraft. (Air Seychelles got rid of theirs). But they have their Twin Otters going to outlying islands like Praslin or Bird Island, being a narrow asphalt and rough clearing respectively. The Twin Otters can cope with the battering that the landing gear takes.
What a wonderful air travel experience, hope you enjoy the trip to Mull of Kintyre.
Watching the Pilot with his hand on that leaver reminded me of my flight over the Grand Canyon on a very windy day , crazy flight !,great video ,cheers.
Great video Paul . Quite local to me in Ayrshire ( beside PIK ) . I used to drive to campbelltown one a week to deliver to a shop . Loooong journey but spectacular views along the way . The people in the town are wonderful and very welcoming.
Always amazed at the short takeoffs in those, they're like STOL aircraft. I've seen them in the Caribbean quite a few times; they have a crazy amount of lift. Really slow landings too. They don't look like they should be able to do either - they look like flying bricks!
Nice video, Thanks for sharing. Over the years I have flown many times on planes without cockpit doors. King Air, Twin Otter and Navajo. Mostly to remote communities in Northern Canada. Lots of fun.
Superb video! I have been meaning to do this flight for a while and you have just convinced me even more :)
You should!
Great vlog as always! I have not flown the DHC-6 since 2003. It lost its airworhiness certificate in Norway, so WF had to retire the one that they had left (LN-WFD) together with RoNoAf three -200 series that was sold or donated to the museum in BOO. The DO228 has no door. The year after an asylum seeker attacked the FC with an axe on short finale in BOO. The rest of the pax managed to overpower the attacker. The flight dep Narvik, now closed. Kato air was the name of the airline. The aircraft was a DO228.
I think that was your best video so far, no big commercial jets an airlines but an airline and aircraft I’ll probably never fly on, and loads of geographical info. 👍
Probably my favorite so far Mr. Lucas. Great video. Love the adventure of smaller aircraft trips. Safe travels.
We did the Papa Westery-Westery a few years ago took all of 30 seconds from take of to landing also no cockpit door.
You flew over my home county.
I flew this route return Glasgow-Cambeltown--Glasgow in 1982, but that was on a BN Trislander. Cockpit door, nope. No bulkhead to hang it on. Pilot turned around and shook hands with most passengers and then had us shuffle seats about according to our weight. I understood what he was doing as I was a Weights Engineer/Loadmaster in my first career. After my site visit I met 2 Engineers from our (mechanical contracting) competition outside the gates of the establishment I was visiting who had driven up from Liverpool but the Client's Site Engineer wouldn't meet them because they hadn't made an appointment. I've never forgotten the thrill of skimming above the mountain tops and looking down on Hunterston Nuclear Power Station, as I usually viewed power stations from ground level or from the inside in my work.
And another thing. The runway was out of commission so the Trislander landed and took off from the parallel taxiway. Who was to know that Harrison Ford would copy us many years later.
Hi Paul! What a treat to be able to travel vicariously through your lenses during a time when traveling is challenging for many of us. I just discovered your merch store, and thought I'd suggest you include that info in a video of yours (perhaps you've done so already, and I apologize if I've missed it!), not just in the description of the video. I'm sure a lot of us long-time viewers would be thrilled to show our appreciation by snagging some things up from the store! Cheers, and thanks again!
Hi Paul, that was a great video. I live in Dunoon which as the crow flies is not far, but the road journey, ummm! Thank you for sharing this, and I wish I had known you were coming as I would have been very happy to meet you. Take care and thanks again.
Paul does indeed get around.
One time we did a small turbo prop from Santa Barbara to LAX. From there we met with 30 friends and flew together to Sydney Australia in a BIG jet non stop. And yes, we went from seeing inside the front of the plane, to not even knowing exactly where it was. In one trip.
Great Job...again. I enjoy the small planes and the airports they fly to. We have Cape Air here. Cessna 402.
In the US back in the 90's flew on the Beechcraft 1900 (19 seats), it also had no cockpit door and was quite fun.
What a great video - thanks! It really conveyed the joy of flying in smaller aircraft and loved the scenery too.
Great POV shots of the cockpit, Paul!
PL I alway love your delivery of all your adventures, may it be Train, Plane, or train. your wealth of travel knowledge is endless, your ATD and POV are overwhelming, love your Vlogs
As well as an emergency shuttle landing site the airfield accepted a few hush-hush ‘overseas test deployments’ of the F-117 Nighthawk in the early/mid 1980’s, when it was still in the ‘black world’ (before it’s public reveal in 1988).
I was serving in the RAF at the time, and my brother was in the army. He told me that the base and surrounding area was crawling with special forces troops patrolling at the time of these deployments.
The aircraft arrived and departed at night and were quickly squirrelled away in hangars, except for engine run-ups which were conducted behind earth berms especially constructed for the purpose. (Which I think can still be seen today).
There were never more than four F-117’s there at any one time and they took part in similar European test deployments in West Germany, Spain, Italy and Greece. (Also in Kadena, Japan).
The spending and physical work on the infrastructure upgrades (runway resurfacing etc) ostensibly for the emergency shuttle runway helped to mask the work needed to prepare a previously near-abandoned facility to accept the F-117 tests.
I flew on a Beaver in Sydney Australia and a a Fairchild Metro from Grand Canyon Airport to Las Vegas.
I've flown on both the Islander and Trislander where not only is there no cockpit door but one of the passengers actually sits next to the pilot. They used to be used a lot around the Channel Islands and are still used on some routes in Scotland. Also the dear old Dart Herald didn't have a door, just a curtain but as the cockpit was raised above the level of the cabin floor all you really saw was the pilots' legs!
4 or 5 times on a small plane with no defined cockpit or cockpit door. Last time was about 5 years ago on the island of Molokai in Hawai'i. A 'jump' up and down the cliff to the Leper Colony - still occupied but not off-limits anymore. 15 minutes - very short runway. When they have really bad weather they have former airplane carrier pilots fly in needed supplies. You can hike the cliff but it is extremely steep.
Pretty cool, Paul. I flew in an Enbraer EMB 120 Brasilla from TYS to DCA back in the 90s that had no cabin door.
Jealous. Never got around to flying a Brasilia! Very few operating in Europe sadly!
@@Paul_Lucas Check out Helsinki-Pori with an outfit called karhu.aero. They're using a Hungarian-registered one. Weirdly, you can have them invoice you and pay up to three days after the flight.
This is the kind of niche flights I would love to take for my own trip reports in the future. Definitely a goal of mine for sure!
That was great Paul! Really interesting the history of the airfield - and great video footage. I flew from Manila to Palawan in the Philippines in a 6 seater - no separation at all from the pilots. It was terrifying.
Mostly because they didnt' tell us what they were doing - and I thought we were in an emergency landing but actually we were stopping at another island to pick up pax...they could've told us! So glad you can get back to work - look forward to all your content to come .
Beautiful day and the scenery is gorgeous!
Fantastic stuff, Paul; such a difference from your last video on the channel!
I’ve been on a couple of planes without a cockpit door, notably Cessna caravans in Kenya and Tanzania!
Ah, what fun! Excellent video. You are right, this is real flying. And a choice of toilets in the hotel!
Wow, that looked like quite a fun trip! Awesome video Paul!😸😸
