Firefighters at Sumburgh Airport take part in an emergency exercise.

Andrew Bruce has a non-stop fuelling frenzy at Wick Airport and the firefighters at Sumburgh Airport are taking part in an emergency exercise.

Anns an t-sreath-sa bidh 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, agus bidh sinn a' coinneachadh ri feadhainn eile a bhios a' sgèith airson spòrs. An t-seachdain-sa, bidh Fred Ferrucci agus Carol Doyle a' sgèith heileacoptar a' giùlain luchd-obrach an ola air ais agus air adhart bho na crainn-ola gach latha.

Tha sinn air bòrd a dh' fhaicinn cò ris a tha e coltach a bhith a' laighe air deic-heli a tha dà cheud troigh os cionn na mara. Ann an Inbhir Ùige, tha am fear connaidh Andrew Bruce air a chumail a' dol, agus aig Port-adhair Sumburgh, tha an luchd-smàlaidh a' gabhail pàirt ann an eacarsaich ann an itealan làn deathach agus feumaidh iad na h-innealan analachaidh aca a chleachdadh airson na dumaidhean a shàbhaladh.

This series gives viewers a behind-the-scenes view of the airports across the Highlands and islands, through the eyes of the people who work there, and we also meet some people who take to the skies for leisure.

In this programme, offshore helicopter pilots Fred Ferrucci and Carol Doyle are flying workers on their routine crew-change flights to oil platforms in the North Sea. We're on board with them to experience what it is like to land on a helideck 200 feet above the sea.

Andrew Bruce has a non-stop fuelling frenzy at Wick Airport and the firefighters at Sumburgh Airport are taking part in an emergency exercise where they have to recover dummies from a smoke-filled fuselage while wearing their breathing apparatus. It's heavy going and their safety is paramount.
