29 minutes
Anns an t- sreath-sa tha sinn a' faighinn a-mach dè a tha a' dol air adhart air cùl ghnothaichean aig puirt-adhair na Gàidhealtachd is nan Eilean tro shùilean an fheadhainn a tha ag obair annta. An t-seachdain-sa, tha port-adhair an Òbain a' frithealadh grunn de dh'eileanan air a' chost an iar, latha mu seach.
An-diugh, bidh sinn a' tadhal air Colbhasa agus Ìle còmhla ri pìleat Julie Angel. Ach, tha iad a' gealltainn droch shìde agus chan eil fhios am faigh an dàrna plèana a-mach feasgar. Tha sin a' toirt buaidh air luchd-obrach - tha cunnart ann nach fhaigh iad air ais an-diugh.
Aig port-adhair Sumburgh ann an Sealtainn, tha an luchd-smàlaidh a' togail luchd-siubhal aig a bheil duilgheadas coiseachd air bòrd le uidheam sònraichte leis an ainm Ambulift. Agus tha eagal a beath' air Avril Irvine agus i a' falbh gu tìr-mòr airson latha mòr.
In this programme, we travel to Oban Airport, which serves some of the west coast islands on alternate days. Today we visit Colonsay and Islay with pilot Julie Angel. However, the weather forecast is looking grim for the afternoon and it is uncertain if the second flight will be able to get out. Some of the morning passengers have difficult decisions to make, if they travel out for their
day's work, they risk not being able to get back.
At Sumburgh Airport in Shetland, the firefighters are helping to board passengers who have difficulty with mobility, using their Ambulift. And Avril Irvine has to face her worst fears as she heads off to the mainland for a big event. Show less
