STV weather presenter Sean Batty has travelled on the shortest commercial flight in the world in Orkney.

He boarded the 90-second Loganair flight from Westray to Papa Westray as part of a range of fundraising activities for the STV Children's Appeal.

At 1.7 miles in length, the entire flight is around the same distance as the runway at Edinburgh Airport.

The route is a subsidised public service obligation, and is one of several routes on the islands tendered by Orkney Council.

The Westray to Papa Westray flights began in 1967 and have been operated continuously by the Scottish airline Loganair for 50 years.

Sean is in Orkney for a day of fundraising with local businesses as part of the STV Appeal, which is dedicated to supporting projects across the country which help the one in four Scottish children living in poverty.

STV presenters around the country have been meeting schools, community groups and businesses for Friday's Big Scottish Breakfast fundraisers, which are part of the appeal.

Sean first flew from Glasgow to Kirkwall, Orkney, with Loganair on Thursday and raised money by serving tea and coffee on board as an honorary part of the flight crew.

He said: "It's been great having the support of Loganair for my fundraising trip to Orkney and being able to raise money and a cuppa during our flight to Kirkwall.

"Loganair also took us on the world's shortest scheduled flight from Westray to Papa Westray which only took 94 seconds.

"As part of the Big Scottish Breakfast they challenged myself and the passengers to eat a roll and sausage in the time it took from take-off until landing."

He added: "Unfortunately the whole plane failed as it's such a quick flight, but we finished them on the runway!"

"The flight itself was fairly smooth thankfully because of the lighter winds, but one of the passengers from Papa Westray told me some stories about the flight during windy weather, which made me grateful we had a nice day for it.

"A big thanks to our captain Gary and to crew trainer Patricia from Loganair for making this happen."
