Wonder how much that would cost to fly that journey? . In 1985/86 I worked at building the hotel on St Martin's Isles of Scilly. I couldn't get a boat to st Martin's from st Mary's as I missed the boat and no one was going to pick me up . I walked to the airport as my boss said get the helicopter. When I got to the airport they were flying the cement over . Bagged cement was put in a big net . The pilot said he would land to let me get in . He wasn't too happy as he said he had to make another journey as he didn't want to be overloaded. I only weighed eight stone in those days as all I did in those days was work and sleep .I miss the islands and those days .
Enjoyed this!!

That was a super spring low tide day
I remember walking between Bruner and fresco a few times ten years back when I worked at hell bay
Now who would dare to call the Isles of Scilly, the Scilly Isles ??
