Thanks for this too mate

Second that; we watched the German airforce trying to blow a rock out of sea when we were up there from the beach at Balnakeil, they had some sort of one way system working for the planes and they were coming over every 5mins or so. I would have watched it all day but Mrs runner got bored and went to look around the hippy place. Sure you'll be able to trawl some details of operating days for the range up - well worth a watch
