A weekend at home (Glasgow)

First real set of shooting i’ve done this year at GLA…A few special visitors in have prompted a rush of spotters/photographers around the perimeter in lovely weather too.
So…the star attractions being 2 of the 3 transitting A320’s for new Nigerian airline First Nation Air, PTD was for 10am and 11am respectively… which came and went, PTD changed to 2130 and 2200 useless then for us…so only decent place to get shots of them in their highly unhelpful parking positions is a trek up the MSCP!
Misty start to saturday for Continental United 757


The local air ambulance

Then a wait for the sun to move round in order to shoot the Nigerians:


Flybe Saab getting some TLC

Virgin lump off to Floridaland



Finally managed to catch the 2 based Jet 2’s the Hybrid 757:

And the “Scotland” 737:

Finally another transitter that has gone tech and been here a few days

On to Sunday: the A320’s (shockingly) NEVER left last night and were now planned as 10 and 11am PTD’s respectively, so, another descent of spotting hordes on GLA’s perimeter…. only to hear the pilots on board APU’s running being told to forget it (again!!) and head back to hotel!! so for another time then and still no sign of the 3rd A320 that is due either… oh well, still some nice light for some shooting

Today’s Virgin lump

Finally a Swedish Cessna 680

Ghost given up at this point and returned home.. still, nice shooting at the home drome and good to catch up with some old faces too..
Hope you enjoy
Cheers
