FROM young lobster packer, to plumber, then pilot, Shetland Voices features recently retired Loganair stalwart Eddie Watt.

He tells Jane Moncrieff how an epiphany changed the course of his life, bringing him and his family on a mission to Kenya, and the challenges he met along the path to eventually becoming a commander.

Watt retired from Loganair at the end of January after 27 years with the company.

More of Jane’s Shetland Voices podcasts can be found here, and her most recent one with comedian Marjolein Robertson is linked below.
