This was taken in the mid 1980s
That is a great photo!
Gorgeous doggie too!
Gemma is lovely. She looks so happy & full of energy coming out of the water. Was she a Shetlander border collie?
No, but she came up with us.
She flew BA from Heathrow to Aberdeen and then Aberdeen to Sumburgh.
She also did the Aberdeen-Lerwick crossing on the St Claire :shock:
I feel seasick just thinking about it !!
Wow what a marvelous girlie! That's quite some journey for any animal.
Yes, I used to do the St. Claire crossing & can feel sea sick on a mill pond too! Did they still let you go down to comfort your traveling pets?
Yes a cross wind was a bit hairy. Did you ever go on the inter island "hoppers"?
The worst for me was Foula in an 8 seater "Dan D(air)"
1st. you helped to clear the sheep off the runway at "Tingwall international airport" accessed by a stile. But it was take off from Foula which got me. We sort of chugged up the hill, & just about fell over the edge of a 200' drop. It wasn't helped by everyone ribbing the "newbie" (me), about balancing the aircraft if you flew back with a "large" sick patient, or jokes that the aircraft were powered by elastic bands. :shock::shock:
Beautiful photo! I want a border collie...
