Anns an t- sreath-sa tha sinn a' faighinn a-mach d猫 a tha a' dol air adhart air c霉l ghnothaichean aig puirt-adhair na G脿idhealtachd is nan Eilean tro sh霉ilean an fheadhainn a tha ag obair annta. An t-seachdain-sa, tha raon-laighe Bharraigh ainmeil air feadh an t-saoghail. 'S e an aon phort-adhair far a bheil itealain l脿itheil a' tighinn s矛os air an tr脿igh.

Ach ged a tha an tr脿igh ainmeil, chan eil d霉il aig a h-uile duine ris. Aig port-adhair Sumburgh ann an Sealtainn, a bharrachd air a bhith deiseal airson c霉is 猫iginn sam bith, 's iomadh gn矛omh eile anns a bheil an luchd-sm脿laidh an s脿s. 'S iad a bhios a' tre貌rachadh na h-itealain agus a' cumail smachd air na h-e貌in, agus an-diugh tha iad a' tr猫anadh airson latha dubh. Anns an eadar-ama, tha luchd-siubhail air a dhol a dh矛th ann an Sealtainn agus 's e 脿m thrang a th' ann dha Avril Irvine.

In this programme, Barra Airport is world famous for its runway where scheduled flights land on the beach. It is the only place in the world where this happens, but it can still come as a surprise to many. Firefighters Kenny Beaton and Joe Gilles take us through what happens.

At Sumburgh Airport in Shetland, the firefighters are busy. As well as being on standby for any emergency, they have a wide range of other duties. From marshaling planes, to cleaning the runways, and today we follow them through a fire training exercise. In the meantime, in Shetland passengers have gone missing, at a busy time for Avril Irvine.
