For all those who have been kind enough to show an interest, I am 

delighted to say that my son Patrick and I completed our Half Million 

Islands challenge last Sunday. We started at Lee on Solent at 5.10am and 

touched down in Lerwick at 8.15 pm, after 1703 nm flying at an average of 

130.2kts. We photographed all 119 islands named on the 1/2 mill charts  and 

stopped 3 times for fuel in Caernarfon, Oban and Stornoway, ( and had a Long 

Ranger tank). The weather was kind to us except for a low cloud base over 

the Pennines making the excursion to Farne & Holy Islands a bit trying, and 

also a low just west of St Kilda making its presence felt with heavy rain, 

highish wind and 700 ft cloudbase.  The plane performed immaculately. 

Patrick has put a short video on line at:
