my father (RIP) after spending his war time years on the south coast of england. . spent his last 6months on hoy. . he was search lights.. in mid 70s we visited hoy.. where he was able to show me the pit his search light had been in
Just got back from Orkney, my daughter just got married there, tried to fly my drone but DJI will not let you fly in Kirkwall and some other places , beautiful place ❤️
I highly recommend a visit, and if you can a day trip to Hoy. It is an extraordinary place with ancient as well as modern history and lots of sea life. Not many trees. so go when the weather is fair. fairs on the ferry round trip for 1 and car is around £150 return
8 hours is not bad, it took me 3 days to make my way up.. but I did do some filming and enjoyed the trip. The islands are very camper friendly.. you park in beach carparks [and no height restrictions] the loos are everywhere and have hot water and you can camp on the beach on the dunes.
Amazon drone shots. Great choice of archive footage and maps. Loved the style, and straight forward information provided. Great documentary!
thank you.. very glad you enjoyed it.
Brilliant video. Informative and the background music and sounds dont detract. Excellent viewing. Subscribed!

Kirkwall airport NFZ extends to the middle of the town. I think I found the edge!
My late Grandad was based in The Orkney's during WW2 and served in the Royal Marines. I'd like to visit The Orkney's in honor of him.
