I visited this plane on the way home from Scotland.i went quite late in the evening.as I got there I could just see it in the distance.i thought it will be a nice walk over the heather.well the walk was horrendous.it was like a marsh land with my feet sinking in up to my ankles and I had old trainers on to.i then realised I was on a live firing range too.by the signs I saw.i began to think is it worth it,the walk was further than I thought.and I really was in the middle of nowhere.should I turn back and continue the long journey home.but I carried on.glad I did.the plane looked lovely against the purple heather.bit of a pig with the tripod though.the plane I have been told is a Lockheed P80 shooting star but not totally sure myself.I got my shots and made my way across the wet ground.i just put my socks in a bag and when I stopped for petrol just threw them away.luckily I had trainers and socks in the car.this is my last report from my Scotland week,but have been back since.but it was for a social weekend.a meal with missy and her family and just relaxing.but did do one explore on route.one while there and one on the way back.
