Luss
LUSS: Seaplane operating base
Note: Both of these pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©
I am assuming that Loch Lomond Seaplanes originally used this jetty in Luss?
Operated by: Loch Lomond Seaplanes
Location: About a third of the way up the west bank of Loch Lomond
Period of operation: 2004 to – (Listed as closed in 2016)
NOTES: As so often I have found often odd if not bizarre contradictions in the way various authorities act. For example, it appears Loch Lomond Seaplanes were granted permission to start services based in LUSS in the same time period a ban on seaplane operations was imposed on Loch Lomond. (See LOCH LOMOND for more details, and, see also GLASGOW CITY AIRPORT, RENFREWSHIRE) for more details about the Loch Lomond Seaplane network.
Being just a tad pedantic, the Cessna T206 Stationair operated by Loch Lomond Seaplanes is actually an amphibian, so not strictly speaking a 'pure' seaplane. But, surely, we really must applaud Mr David West for both forming the company and making such a success of this operation.
A PROBLEM
It is of course a problem that can never be solved. Every time I make an entry for a site operating in recent years, in so many cases the circumstances have changed. This appears to be a good example. Looked at in 2020 it appears that Loch Lomond Seaplanes had transferred their operating base to DUCK BAY, Alexandria, or in other words to a jetty owned by the CAMERON HOUSE HOTEL. (See seperate entry).
