A view of the northern end of the Isle of Gigha, courtesy of my sister Imke from a flight to Islay almost a decade ago. The Twin Beaches nicely visible towards the front left.

Low flying jet over Loch Gorm, Isle of Islay
Image
Admittedly this could be anywhere, so you have to trust me this was over Loch Gorm on Islay. I believe it’s some kind of RAF jet on a training exercise, that’s all I can work out.
Update: It’s a Hawk Trainer, thanks to Chris for the information.
Fighter jet over Machir Bay, Isle of Islay

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?
