Description
So Islay a Scottish Island which makes whiskey. Did you know that it is big with Japanese tourists as they are obsessed with our Scottish whiskey; so much, in fact, they have bought most of the distilleries!!!] Islay also has another claim to fame, it is where Price Charles landed the wrong way on the runway and went off the end in an RAF bae 146, so yes it was a crash and the last time he flew.

Snowdon, Caernarfon and Puffin Island for up to three!
We had a fantastic flight down to Caernarfon from Blackpool with Gareth. From start to finish he communicated well, and the flight itself was just incredible.

I'd gladly recommend Gareth to any potential Wingly passengers and look forwar...
