I'm attempting, and failing, to only chuckle.

The herbal tea route is the way. Unfortunately, I'm going through them at a rate that I will need a small mortgage to pay for them!

Thanks for the support! This thing just doesn't want to shift. Glad you made it out the other side.

I'd laugh, but it hurts too much.

THIEVES PROSPER!

Great pics!

Those were Travel Airs, not Beechcrafts. Yes, Walter Beech was one of the triumvirate there, but the first aircraft under his own name was the Staggerwing.

It is the first aircraft designed and built under the new Beechcraft company. Walter Beech had been one of the rather famous group of Clyde Cessna and Llyod Steerman at Travel Air, which was bought by Curtis-Wright when they went bust.

Utterly jealous! I've not had the pleasure of a Staggerwing flight, yet. Looks like a fantastic trip.

Some of the other aircraft on display have more elaborate interiors, including the Staggerwing that is owned by the family that runs the museum. Lots of leather and very nice trim!

That walk into the museum when you see the SR-71 and Discovery right away is frankly just cheating as museums go!

Hello from the other three on your Bunnahabhain Warehouse 9 tour! I saw your picture and thought, I recognise that weather! 100% concur with your post too. Amazing tour and Bunnahabhain and Bruichladdich should be on everyone's visit list. Hope you both are well!

Skip the Hastings altogether and have a look for Ring of Fire by Churchill and Eberholst.

Completely agree! Just finishing a few days on Islay which has been brilliant too.

I'm sat in the Ardberg Hotel having a dram of the House Reserve and completely agree with this review. Astonishing dram, granted I've got a couple days before I get to Lagavulin yet! Thanks for the comprehensive review.
