A disabled person climbing out of a plane, sitting on the wing, putting their chair together and wheeling away having just flown solo isn't an unusual sight on UK airfields. The can-do attitude of General Aviation is to thank for this as is support from @UK_CAA & @transportgovuk
In early September we flew into Papa Westray and had an excellent walk around. Including Ancient sites, RSPB reserve, a monument to a Great Auk and sandy beaches.

Good flight to @SleapEGCV airfield for a light lunch, and then an indirect route back to Tatenhill. An excellent place to visit.
Not on my bucket list, a 5 1/2 mile o/r walk across the RSPB reserve leads to the Old Man of Hoy.

Combined with an excellent 10 1/2 mile walk around Papa Westray. The oldest pierced stone house in Europe, RSPB North Hill and onto deserted Sandy beaches.
