[@steve-marsh]

Hi everyone. I’ve had a lot of negative feedback about the music on my Barra landing, just wanted to explain why. I’m fairly new to making videos and also I don’t have the best equipment, so when it comes to editing, I need to strike a balance to create a piece of work I am happy with. I will however be returning to Barra this year and will try to make a better job of it next time. In the meantime I’ll try to track down the landing footage I have and upload the landing segment without music (now uploaded !!) It might not be the best though. Sorry for disappointing you all in a place that deserves better. Please stick with me as I learn and evolve my channel! Thanks for the support.

[@jimbaird4651]

Great film Steve.cant wait to do this flight myself when all this carry on is finished.Stay safe and keep up the good work mate,Jim.

[@steve-marsh]

Loganair operate two Viking Twotters under contract plus an original DHCanada one they own.

[@allancopland1768]

It's a lovely island. I've been there many times. Great people, lovely beaches and the cleanest little airport on the planet with its three runways washed twice a day by the tide, and of course you gotta fly there on the Twotter... of course!

[@steve-marsh]

And I remember some great food in the airport after long days walking :)

I liked the Music, the flight and Barra. Anther trip to add to my bucket list.

I camped in the dunes by that airport in August 1981 on a cycling holiday with the family when I was 13. Great to watch what it was like to fly in.

We were over there at that time too. I can't remember if it was July or August. It was the Britten-Norman Trislander that handled the duties in those days...

I flew Twin Otters Off strip in Canada's arctic and now I fly into Glasgow from Canada with the airliners. This video brought both my worlds together, VERY cool to see! I've seen that twin otter many times on my arrivals to GLA and I always wondered what routes it did, now I know! Great video

We did this flight in May a couple of years ago - in perfect weather. Stunning views the whole way and fabulous landing experience. The return was just as good, and such a thrill as the Twin Otter seemed to leap from the beach in a couple of hundred yards and rise like an elevator. Thanks Steve for capturing the feel of this trip. Much easier finding the B&B in daylight!

Hey Steve, I did the same about 12 months ahead of you and indeed it's a stunning flight worthy of everyone's 'Must-do' list. I really enjoy how you put your vlog together too, and you have more courage than I do when filming - I generally bottle out of capturing folk! Awesome stuff. Subbed!

I envy you the flight and landing on a beach, I came to Barra by ferry from Oban. It was long and annoying crossing as they were doing a seasonal cleaning of the Clansman. I enjoy Barra trip on my bike. Waiting for the 2pm flight in dunnes.Riding around whole island and visiting Vatersay beaches as well. Next time you are there, do not forget Vatersay- men's island. Thank you for your lovely video. Next time I am flying....

[@steve-marsh]

I've written that in my travel book for next time, thanks! Ah the flight was awesome, but being able to catch the ferry with your bike and gas canisters for the camping stove is probably the best option in the long run :)

[@timweather3847]

While I have never been to Barra, my first flight to the Western Isles was in a BEA Viscount in 1963, Renfrew-Benbecula-Stornoway. The last leg involved a small diversion at the request of the RNLI to locate a small boat in distress off the west coast of Harris and was at a far lower flight level than standard, which made for stunning views of Harris. We located the boat and the man was later rescued.

[@steve-marsh]

Timothy Neville if only there was KZbin then, would have loved to have seen that flight!!!

It's the first time I have seen a beach used as a runway! Great video. I liked the feedback system at the very end!

[@jamesclendon4811]

What a charming video. I watch dozens of flight videos, and I don't think I've ever described one as "charming" before. I guess it's because I watch so many that KZbin suggested yours; I've never encountered your channel before, or heard of this flight (or of Barra, for that matter). I liked your narration: very informative and naturally good-humored, without straining to be funny. All in all, a very nice job--I'll watch your other videos soon. (P.S.: the music was fine).

[@steve-marsh]

James Clendon thanks so much for the kind comments and of course for watching! :) I’m still fairly new to this and feeling my way a bit, but feedback like that gives me the confidence I’m on the right track, thanks so much! 👍🏼

[@lawrencedavidson6195]

Barra is beautiful!! And yes, the Twin Otter is an excellent S.T.O.L. (short take off and landing) airplane and so does get off the ground very quickly as that is what it's designed to do. Many thanks Steve for sharing your part of the world with us, i do love your adventures. Greetings from sunny Jamaica.

I thoroughly enjoyed this insight, we bought a motorhome in 2010 (still have her) and our 1st adventure was a island hopper ticket with CalMac.The 1st stop was when you could free camp on Cockleshell beach, a week in May with those stunning views, watching the beach landings a fishing for tea....thank you so much for this, when this crisis is all over we will return...stay safe everyone

I have some old Aeroplane Monthly magazines here. There was a story about the merry old De Havilland Dragonfly, a twin engined biplane airliner, in one. Back then, regular airline flights would take off from any meadow long enough and take you straight to the biggest cities. You could get flights like from farmer Miller's meadow in Wales straight to Paris in the Twenties and Thirties. De Havilland Twin Otters thus kind of hold up their grand old heritage, flying from the beach. I love it!

What a fabulous flight to Barra, I loved the deep purring sound of the twin engines on take off, it gave me chills down my spine this was my third time in a twin ‘Otter’ and my second time landing on a beach 🏝 airport with the sea lapping at the tyres, that was at Almere in Spain, it was a bigger Aircraft with a much wider sweep on approach, I was having the collie wobbles and my husband who wasn’t fond of flying turned a nice shade of green, even though he worked at East Midlands Aport!
