While out on a long walk on the Big Strand I was lucky enough to arrive at Islay International Airport just at the moment the service plane from Glasgow arrived. Here it is approaching over the Big Strand to land at the runway to the right.

A view from near Port Charlotte across Loch Indaal, Laggan Point and Laggan Bay to Islay International Airport, lit up for the arrival of the evening plane from Glasgow.

Maybe not the clearest picture, but then it was taken over quite a distance (approx 6 miles) on an overcast hazy day. Seen across Loch Indaal and Laggan Bay from somewhere between Port Charlotte and Nerabus on the Rhinns of Islay, the service plane is leaving from Islay International Airport at Glenegedale for its flight to Glasgow.
