HAVING spent eight days on the island of Bermuda, I thought it would be helpful to jot down a few thoughts as you prepare, for the first time in 14 years, to touch down at LF Wade International Airport, the gateway to this most charming of British overseas territories. Gratifyingly, Bermuda remains an idyllic, old-fashioned replica of what Britain must have been like in the Fifties -- albeit with the added bonus of round-the-year sunshine, a profusion of clean, pink-sanded beaches, manicured golf courses, the warm waters of the Atlantic, and narrow, winding roads that snake along both the north and south coasts of this 22-mile long idyll.

AMONG the very important people welcomed by Tony Blair to Downing Street last week was Colin Adams. Although the 82-year-old from south Wales has not thus far figured prominently in accounts of the Second World War, it is fair to say the course of history could have been very different without him. Mr Adams was one of the mighty couriers, the dispatch riders who brought reports from the battlefield to the likes of Downing Street and Fleet Street. It was not always good news, but the message, however unpalatable, always got through. It is a lesson in determination the prime minister should recall when next week he travels to Washington to meet president Bush. If ever there was a time for plain speaking between friends, this is it. Mr Blair is scheduled to see Kofi Annan, the UN secretary...

THE pilot's voice came across loud and clear as the 'plane's wheels touched down on the runway. "Welcome to Bermuda,"he said. "We hope you have a fantastic time. The pilot's sentiments were reiterated by the Bob Marley steel tribute band that welcomed us into the arrivals lounge at the airport and the taxi driver who picked us up at the airport.
THE turbulence began even before Kevin Brown landed his job as managing director of Edinburgh airport. In the six months since the former head of Aberdeen airport took up the post, he has not had a smooth ride, with extreme snow falls, an unpopular "kiss and fly tax" and the threat of Edinburgh being sold to new owners all taxiing towards him. His predecessor, Gordon Dewar, had announced the airport would start charging a GBP1 drop-off tax, causing outrage among passengers and MSPs. Having announced the unwelcome news, Dewar departed less than a month later to take on a new job in Bahrain.
