Wetherspoons Sandpiper in the airport does decent enough pub grub - we usually eat there rather than the hotels at it's much cheaper. The Premier Inn food has always been delicious but it's often very busy with residents. We usually get breakfast after security in the Beardmore restaurant if on an early flight.

I think it's been closed for a few years??

Correct - likely ok on a calm day

it be here > 60.487422, -1.496284

She's practising her Spanish: 'Que tengas un buen día' = 'have a nice day' My Spanish holidays have not been wasted!

Got me!

Best to phone Loganair at Wick 0844 8002855 and tell them you will have your own chair, zimmer etc and will need assistance - they can add it to your booking.

Are you flying Loganair from/to Sumburgh. If so, you can check it in for no charge, or have it 'valet tagged' so you can take it to the aircraft steps or on the ambulift with you. Once you're onboard the zimmer will go in the baggage hold. Once you reach your destination the zimmer will be brought to the steps or ambulift for you..

Cheers - 1/100 shutter speed works on the Hercs, 1/80 seems to work the Saab 340s - tricky to get the rest of the plane sharp though
