Around Scotlandshire past few days (LONG POST!!)

Cheers Widdy
Yes the big 40 on monday, and theres nowt strange about Clydebank…………well, actually never mind that 😀
Si. The bottles probably were full as the rear cabin was closed behind a glass wall!!! as was unfortunately,the cockpit, very hard for shooting through.
Never managed to shoot the Merlins, but they are visible just forward of the AN225 nose in the first shot, one had started just after the 225 left, but, i had to rush off to do a job:dev2:
Cheers again all

Good wad o shots there Scottyboyyyyy.

I like the Eastern and Scot(ty) Airways at EDI and the Zoom landing with that strange toon in the background 😉

Didn’t even know it was yer birthday on Monday. Well…. Happy Birthday.
Nyaaayyyyyyyyyyyy.

Top shots Scotty……were the 2 bottles of champagne in Concorde empty? Did you get any shots of the 820 Squadron Merlins at PIK.

All th best

Si

Thanks James
No it was on monday afternoon (but i think it does come via Manston??)
The Islander is in a hangar at the museum, it was retired from GLA about 2 years ago and replaced with 2 shiny new King Airs (yellow also)i daresay it could be easily restored back to flying condition.. of all the exhibits it is by far the smartest/ least worn.

Thanks for the info Scotty. Yeah the Skywings MD-82 Its goes something like PIK-ALC-MSE-ALC-PIK

James

Scott the sith informend me that it was in but while he was on the phone it had asked for start up so it would have been too late, so yeah mate the Darkside missed out on that one.
BTW you need to send in your application form for the darkside aviation m8 😎 .
DARTH VADA ( DARKSIDE AVIATION)..

Brilliant shots Scotty like the Skywings MD-82 was it on sunday you took that shot as I saw it flying into Manston. And does that Bright yellow Bn-2 for the Scottish amberlance does it fly?
