Teicheadh bho Loch Nis/Escape from Loch Ness
After a rare World War II seaplane becomes stranded on Loch Ness, the race is on to repair the aircraft and return it safely to the air.
Residents and visitors to Loch Ness had the pleasure of seeing a rare World War II 鈥楥atalina鈥� flying boat operating from Scottish waters in the autumn of 2020. But when the lumbering seaplane tried to leave, an engine failure left her stranded and exposed to the elements, including storms on the notorious loch.
This documentary, from the makers of 鈥榁E-Day: Countdown to Peace鈥� and the award-nominated 鈥楶lane Resurrection鈥� series, follows the owners as they battle to prevent the aircraft, one of the few left flying, from ending its days as a wreck in the murky depths of Loch Ness.
The film also examines another tragedy that centred around the pier where the aircraft is stranded, and documents the fraught six-week battle with funds, weather and logistics, to save 鈥楳iss Pickup鈥�.
脌s d猫idh dha seann phl猫ana-mara bho linn an D脿rna Cogaidh a bhith ann an trioblaid air Loch Nis, thathar ann an cabhag a' phl猫ana luachmhor a ch脿radh agus a thilleadh dhan adhar gu s脿bhailte.
Fhuair luchd-turais is muinntir sg矛re Loch Nis cothrom seann phl猫ana-mara Catalina bho linn an D脿rna Cogaidh fhaicinn a' sg猫ith 脿s uisgeachan na h-Alba as t-fhoghair d脿 mh矛le is fichead. Ach nuair a bha an t-seann phl猫ana a' falbh, bhris an einnsein, ga fh脿gail ann an staing.
Gun fasgadh bho na siantan, agus ann an cunnart bho stoirmean ainmeil na locha, is gun ach gl猫 bheag dhiubh fhathast a' sg猫ith, tha am pr貌gram aithris seo bhon fheadhainn a rinn 'VE Day: Countdown to Peace' agus an t-sreath 'Plane Resurrection' a chaidh ainmeachadh airson duais, a' leantainn luchd-seilbh a' phl猫ana is iad a' feuchainn ri a sh脿bhaladh bho bhith air a' ghrunnd ann an doimhneachd dh霉mhail Loch Nis.
Tha am film cuideachd a' toirt s霉il air tubaist eile ceangailte ris a' chidhe far a bheil e ceangailte, agus a' d猫anamh aithris air sia seachdainean a' str矛 ri ionmhas, aimsir is logastachd airson 'Miss Pickup' a sh脿bhaladh.
