    Thanks Yak11 and Jimbo

    Jimbo, found the viewing point you pointed out, very good, only thing is the potholes on the hill are nearly as big as my clio 🙂

    Anyone know what is happening with the Belfast?

    Sometime between sun 24 aug and sat 30 aug she was moved from outside the Polar hangar to the north side at Prestwick beside the 747.

    thanks for posting the photos, any more? I somehow managed to spend a day at the festival, with my addled brain I forgot about the fly-in.

    I hadn’t appreciated just how small the WAR FW190 was until I saw it at the Mull of Kintyre Air Day the previous weekend. will post or two of that when I get me act together.

    Merlin – nope wasn’t me on Friday unfortunately.

    Monday broke like most Glasgow Fair[1] mondays, low cloud and showers. So our idea of heading west from Cumbernauld, down the Clyde and back was abandonded, so we just bumbled about over Stirling and the valley up to Perth. Still it was a very enjoyable hour, and I realised how much I like chippies.

    [1] Glasgow Fair – a local holiday

    So here is a shot of the approach to Perth.

    I was at the fence in front of the commentary bus. There was a family with those small tent wind beakers, so parked myself in front of them 😉

    I though it was a well balanced display, and probably the first show I’ve been to where all the planes in the list showed. Agree about the Sea Vixen and Canberra and was great to see the T33 in the air.

    Der – thanks for the info, unfortunately my ATC logbook has gone awol. Squadron Prints have WP860 in their list as a Turnhouse Chippie, which is why I asked.

    Thanks for the kind words, not my first flight in a chippie, but haven’t flown in one since I was in the ATC in the early 70’s, indeed I may even have flown in this one (WP860) I understand it was based at Turnhouse, can anyone confirm?

    This was the only visiting aircraft on the ground. The owner was running a raffle for a 1 hour flight, guess who won? (now where is the smug smiley:D )
