Islay Airfield (EGPI)

Flew into Islay on 8 May to walk the greyhounds on the beach. Islay is a Highlands and Islands Airport and has a few scheduled flights and a full staff. On arrival, we had to orbit for a few minutes whilst the fire service chased sheep from the runway……! Thankfully, they were successful! They are very happy to accept GA and the grass parking was close to the tower: expect an escort across the apron – all done in their usual efficient and friendly way. The beach is a short walk from the airfield and follows the wartime perimeter path which is now outside the airfield boundary.

Morag’s Café is at the airfield and does some great food and tea/coffee with inside and outside seating.
