Atlantic Bridge (flight Route)
The Atlantic Bridge is a flight route from Gander International Airport in Gander, Newfoundland and Labrador, Gander, Newfoundland, Canada, to Scotland, with a refueling stop in Iceland. Traditionally, the Scottish airport most associated with the Atlantic Bridge has been Glasgow Prestwick Airport, Prestwick International Airport, owing to its long association with US and Canadian military traffic. During the Second World War, new bombers flew this route. Today, it is seldom used for commercial aviation, since modern jet airliners can fly a direct route from Canada or the United States to Europe without the need for a fueling stop. However, smaller private or military aircraft which do not have the necessary range to make a direct crossing of the ocean still routinely use this route, or may alternatively stop in Greenland, typically via Narsarsuaq and Kulusuk or the Azores for refueling. The most common users of this route are ferry pilots delivering light aeroplanes (often six seat ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Clachan Bridge (also known as the ''Bridge over the Atlantic'') is a simple, single-arched, hump-backed, masonry bridge spanning the Clachan Sound, southwest of Oban in Argyll and Bute, west of Scotland. It links the west coast of the Scottish mainland to the island of Seil. The bridge was originally designed by John Stevenson of Oban (and not by Thomas Telford as sometimes quoted) and was built between 1792 and 1793 by engineer Robert Mylne. The original design had two arches, but it was finally built with a single high arch, of roughly span and about above the bed of the channel, to allow the passage of vessels of up to at high tide. The bridge is still in use today, forming part of the B844 road, and is in the care of Historic Scotland.
