No, it's not a suicide mission, robbo!

Thought you would be just the man to go for a recce in the Tiv, in the badlands of West Scotnotshire, to check out a suitable CovPoxVax delivery ve-hickle?

Do you have a camera?
I have 3 cameras, but unfortunately no film in any of them.
They were sadly overtaken by the new digittle age and fell into disuse.

I'm afraid West Scotnotshire is out of my region, but I did take part in a comprehensive tactical reconnaissance sweep of the target area a couple of years ago.
Whereabouts in Holy Loch were you thinking in particular?

I do have a close-up photograph of a tadpole's eye that I took, and I used to have a haggis in a tin, but I ate it on 3rd Degree Burns Night just over a year ago.
Does this help in any way whatsoever?
55.9069° N, 5.2329° W or thereabouts, would be the recon AoI.

I can provide a few rolls of 35mm and resupply the tins of Haggis, plus a per diem to cover your 'unexpected' expenses.

Can the TVR get that far?

I'm truly blessed.
After a couple of hours cutting grass is 18 degrees and sunshine,agent M and I were treated to the Ariel spectacular of migrating storks in thier thousands and then fantastic mumurations of starlings!

Followed by a beef stew and dumplings then a glass of red sitting outside with my little pal.

A tyre kicking welsh weirdo came to look at my trailor. TVR owner and building various stuff but had a much better trailor in Wales that he can't get to apparently.
40 fecking minutes to look at a trailor!
Then walked off without being capable of saying goodbye. His wife was full of appolgies etc bla Bla.
Sounds idyllic, Magoo, and I can confirm the 'storks are flying'!

Shame about the Welsh moron, and I can only apologise. We try to stop them crossing the Wye but what can you do, realistically!

Can the TVR get that far?
The range of my TVR is only dependent on fuel supply, having travelled as far afield as the Swiss /Italian border, die Schwartzwald, the Italian Lakes, the South of France, Durness in the far northwest of Scottishland, and several other tours.
In all those missions, we have never left a TVR S behind.

I have studied the grid refs and narrowed the AoI down to this approximate location:

The only thing that could cause some concern regarding the security of the mission is this reference:

Yvonne-Marie RAF (@50shadesofwraf) • Instagram photos ...

and the likelyhood of exposure to burst hedgehogs. yikes

Owing to the rather convoluted nature of any overland route to the AoI, a stealthy airborne approach would be preferable, so would it be possible to find a suitable landing field for the old Lysander in the vicinity?
Failing that, the alternative is to take the Sunderland and land in the Loch.
Stealth, however could be a problem.
