Colour photograph of a BA aircraft at Dyce in June 1974.

This aircraft landed on runway 06 in the summer of 1974 when the runway was less than 1,000 metres long. It was a scheduled flight but the usual Skyliner was unserviceable. The pilot, Captain MacDonald, was BA`s chief pilot in Scotland. As there were no steps at Tiree, the passengers had to descend by firemen`s ladder. (Original in Filing Cabinet 4 drawer1)
