    Maybe not the longest but flight from Glasgow to Campbeltown and back daily for 6 months. Sometimes the only passenger and on first name terms with the flight crew.
    Me, me, me...

      Make sure you have plenty of virgins' blood during your trip.
      I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

          Better yet, take some virgins with you.
          Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

              Machrihanish was closed by that time, there used to be a model aircraft factory in the town, K V Wooster, I updated their systems and developed an stock control / inventory app as well as a now defunct website.

                  I used to work in Costa Mesa in California and fly there and back every 2 weeks. Good for the air miles if nothing else
                  Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

                  I preferred version 1!

                    I was asked to fly out to poland and back in a day for some work.

                    Flew out at 6am ... there at midday. Hour to offices, two hours work, hour back to airport and back home on the 5pm flight. Got back to UK at middnight (after fecking around as I flew out from Stanstead into Luton so had to get taxi to pick car up).

                    Not doing that ever, ever again.
