Dundee and Montrose 13th to 21st June 2019

[acklington]

I've not been up to Dundee for a couple of years, but my daughter's graduation (hurray! she'll finally start working and earn some money) provided an excuse to visit the nearby Riverside Airport a few times. We got there by Isle of Man Steam Packet and the M6 / M74, unlike some other parents who arrived in a variety of fancy biz-jets!

Also went to see the Montrose Basin, a spectacular sight when it fills and empties with each tide, and I was stood at the seaside when a distant speck caught my eye - it took a 300 mm zoom to see it more clearly;

There then followed a hunt through various industrial estates, before finding the only close-up point available;

It is a Westland WG-30, N116WG which is ex G-17-20 and G-BLLG, but with a replacement tail boom ex G-17-12, G-BKXY, and N113WG. It is in use at a Petroleum Industry training site which unfortunately was locked at the weekend.
