A Scottish seaplane operator has lodged plans to operate revenue commuter Cessna services from the Scottish west coast areas of Argyll and Arran to Glasgow's River Clyde.

Trials will begin soon and the company (Loch Lomond Seaplanes) hopes to begin services next summer.

Hi Ren

I was on a bus going through the Southern General Hospital this morning and saw a seaplane looked like it was coming in to land on the River Clyde at Braehead Shopping Center maybe take a trip over tomorrow and see if it's there

Cheers

Certainly a novel idea in Scotland, dont think it will have quite the canadian impact, but could certainly be extreamly useful, perhaps even in the air ambulance role to some of the more isolated communities/islands?
