The isle of Jura lies close to the Scottish mainland but can only be described as remote. George Orwell, the island's most famous resident where he wrote most of 1984, famously described it as: "Extremely ungetatable" due to limited transport connections. Reaching Jura will be something Prime Minister David Cameron will have given thought to as he plans to go on the first of his three summer holidays - one to the Isle to visit family. When he arrives, he might think it could have been easier and quicker with better domestic air links into London. He will find advice on how this might be achieved in the 342-page Airports Commission: Final Report, published on 1 July, and which recommended expansion of Heathrow as the best solution to bolster domestic services in and out of London. The report will surely be at the top of the PM's summer reading list, after all he wanted to "properly read and properly digest" the report before responding in the autumn.
