Some good shots there Rab. Peeing ddon from the Hee-ens on Saturday morning ? I don’t believe a word of it. It NEVER rains up here. Ayye right!
Saw the chinook departing mid afternoon Sunday as I passed on the motorway. Just disappeared into the clattery stour at about 200 feet (if even).

I like the Globespan shot. That’s a great background.

As for the Air Berlin fawwwwkers. Yup … another airline driven away (but not by THIS side of the route I believe). Anyway, good to see EZY starting
to CDG. Hopefully that will last. Definitely on the cards for me!!

US Airways mark on nose… yup, VERY likely flaked paint. Couple of years ago one (at least) of the 767s that operated to GLA looked like the side had scraped along a rough cast wall.

In fact here’s the very one. Happened to be standing there with the wee pocket digi one of the days it went by. August 2004.

Thanks for your comments i have got to agree with you Allen that Nooky was nice especially on take off,:) steve the mark on the nose cone of the U.S is flaking paint i think, but to me it looks like it hit a gaint fly on the way in 😀

Good stuff Rab, I was sitting on the river bridge at Inchinnan, snapping ’23’ approaches a few years ago when 3 of those Chinooks invaded the airfield. Very impressive it was too !

Happy Birthday by the way, I’ll be 38 soon too… well in about 18 months anyhow ! 😉
