Mark Stephen takes to the skies as he heads to North Uist in a light aircraft to meet the organisers of the Sollas Beach Fly-In, a special annual event where pilots get to challenge themselves by landing on a public beach.

First established in the early 2000s by John Angus Macleod, the fly-in has grown from a few pilots landing on Sollas beach to an event that now attracts light-aircraft enthusiasts from all over the UK as well as further afield in Europe.
