Speaking of flying in the Western Isles, that reminds me -

Somewhat famously Prince Charles over ran an Island runway
(Isle of Islay) flying a BAC 146 many years ago.

googling for a bit

It should be mentiond that is was reported that the Prince
"retired" from piloting immediately after this incident
even though this report quite firmly absolves him from
any responsibility. Interesting!
