Inverness 1982

Looking through some of my old B & W prints and came across this Super King Air, which operated out of Inverness, in the early nineteen-eighties, in connection with McDermott's oil rig fabrication yard at nearby Ardersier Hope it is of interest. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49846257553_6954db...
