Anglesey Airport has to be one of the smallest commercial airports in the world. Am I wrong? Of course, it is also a pretty big RAF base.The only civilian flights from there are to Cardiff, about 40 minutes away by air, but you take off past a row of RAF jets - sleek and powerful looking - which could probably get you there in about 12 seconds or so. They probably don't use those because there wouldn't be time for the coffee and biscuit. Anyway, Highland Airways isn't the RAF. Pity.
I quite like the prop driven aircraft actually, because you have time to see Snowdonia and mid Wales or the cotton wool tops of solid cloud. But it is noisy. Also, the carbon footprint is pretty small and delicate, so I don't feel guilty about using it.
