Captain Annag MacLeod, from Eoligarry Barra and Co Pilot Mairi Nicholson from Grimsay Island North Uist, last Wednesday, were in charge of the Flybe flight into Barra operated by Loganair. So a why a double first?

The first time that the flight has been operated by two female pilots and the fact that both these pilots were Gaelic speakers.

Congratulations to Annag and Mairi on their achievements in the aviation world.
