HIGHLAND AIRWAYS has appointed one of the most colourful persons in British, let alone Scottish, aviation as its chairman, Bob Macleod. The recently retired chief executive of Highlands and Islands Airports has been a sea captain, he commanded one of the BP shipping massive 270,000 ton VLCC (very large crude carrier) freighters before taking the helm at British Caledonian Helicopters, operators of the highly success air link between Gatwick and Heathrow, killed off by politics and the M25. At Highland he will lead a small team offering scheduled flights from Inverness to the Outer Hebrides, the operation of the Scottish Fisheries Protection Agency reconnaissance aircraft and charter services with BAe 32, Cessna 406 and Shorts 360 aircraft.
