Mid 80s Mod in Lochaber
□Word reached the national Mod office that low flying manoeuvres had been planned in Lochaber by the MoD during Mod week. Contact was made with RAF Leuchars who were extremely co-operative when they discovered what a Mod is! Albeit not in Gaelic, a call came from the Ministry of Defence headquarters in London assuring there would be no interference from low-flying aircraft during Mod week!
□There was a touch of tartan in Fort William Sheriff Court, with the kilted and robed Procurator Fiscal, Jim MacGillivray, ready to set off for the Mod as soon as the day’s legal proceedings were completed.
