    Do you think they would go with scrunchy socks, baseball cap and sovies ?

    As I say Joe, you get all types of travellers funnelling through all types of airports for whatever reason. Not every GLA traveller is a long hauler or holiday maker as much as not every EDI customer is a businessman.

    I don’t think you can get pin-stripe shellsuits.? :rolleyes:

    Oops…. its a joke… 🙂 🙂

    No, I mean that the one seen at Newcastle was Scandinavian registered, it don’t mean it was the one at EDI.

    Ooops! Apologies…. 🙁

    There was a one at Newcastle a few months ago, it was registered in Scandinavia, can’t remember where though?

    Thanks Ben…it came in like Tora Tora at EDI today
    I wished I had a longer lense to catch it ‘banking’…
    classic downwind approach but it looked like the pilot was in a hurry to get it on the ground. 😮

    which of course explains the CSA and Domodevo flights…?

    You got it in one! BAA have categorised..indisputable
    evidence.?

    Can we just agree to disagree?

    I agreed with you above. :rolleyes:

    Shame on you! Don’t react to this post if you have clearly no tast :D.

    Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.? One must remember
    a lot of pics on A.net are ‘mock-ups’ I’m not saying this particular one was..I prefer to see pics from this forum rather than those from one that is run more like a camera club than an aviation mutual interest group.

    I’m sure the quality of pics say, from Ren Frew, are more
    topical than those from the favoured who pass the dubious neutral judges of A.net

    That’s not saying that pics from this forum would not
    pass A.net screeners, but who cares.?

    I don’t think its all that spectacular.

    Its a great photo for sure… but not pic of the month imo

    I think the pic of the month should be one from this
    forum :rolleyes:

    I can assure that there’s nothing more tedious than a GLA V EDI flame war on what is an international forum. 😡

    This is the poster that started it Allen… The original thread-start was pefectly innocent..

    Its 100% bull. Its just the usal Edinburgh spoters bitter about GLA’s new long haul based airline. They have said they will only expand from GLA in Scotland.

    I’m not saying that either Sandy, GLA as you know has the infrastructure to better handle larger planes, EDI has the business clientele to support more direct scheduled short haul flights.

    Business clientele also take long-haul flights and they also take holidays. If their local airport is convenient for short-haul, its also convenient for long-haul.

    The problem is one of choice, a luxury many Scottish pax
    are denied. 😡

    I personally prefer using my local airport even if it means
    connecting elsewhere. I am at least supporting local jobs and the local economy IMHO 🙂

    Myself and Sandy saw the Air Holland 767, quite a sight I must admit, with a spectacular take-of tto, akin to say the B757. Granted it wouldn’t be full of fuel, but spectacular none-the-less. Wasn’t it standing in for the B757’s that were getting a C/D-Check?

    It may well of been….
    Air Scotland seem to have a lot of
    cancellations at the moment, I hope trouble isn’t
    brewing again 🙁

    I’m just trying to put this bloody argument to the sword once and for all. Gawd it goes on and on and on. :p

    Many have tried Allen… the internet is littered with
    parochial combatants rather than peace-makers.

    One well-known troublemaker even remarked, “Peace Off”
    when it was on offer.

    It’s these guys we should put to the sword… 😮

    I’m just sick of hearing that GLA is the best and preferred airport. IT ISN’T

    It’s BAA’s preferred airport, the one they socially-engineer
    pax to with nigh exclusive long-haul schedule and
    charter routes.

    PIK is indeed an airport too far but at least they can compete.

    EDI pax unfortunately are still expected to bank-roll
    BAA’s long-haul airport at GLA.

    Its not Glasgow’s fault by any means, its just that BAA
    are fanning the prestige flames that cause all the
    the arguements 😡
