A Peedie Bit O' Orkney...

Orkney's in the Guinness Book of Records, you know?

We hold the record for the World's Shortest Scheduled Flight - between 2 of our islands, Westray & Papa Westray... Scheduled time is 2 - 2.5 minutes, but it has been done in 58 seconds with a good tail wind!

There's no beverage service, because the kettle's not boiled before the plane's touched down again!

Enjoy the whole journey... made on a rainy, downright horrid day...
