Blink and you’ve missed it. Fighter jets are rather fast, only just managed to catch this one in a picture as it shot over Islay, turning over Machir Bay. This was in October (2011), considering all the Geese and Swans arriving around that time I’m not sure it’s such a good idea to practice flying low over Islay at that time?

A memory from a journey to Islay back in October 2010. Waiting for the ferry at Kennacraig I got treated to some beautiful late afternoon light as sunset was approaching.
