I do agree with your sentiments Bhoy. I don’t quite understand why BAA has put two of it’s own airports in direct competition with each other when they used to work together relatively harmoniously ?

It’s fair to say the Scottish Executive are based in Edinburgh and the lion’s share of the new routes fund they set up has gone to Edinburgh Airport, but that’s politician’s for you. GLA is still suffering from the Kingston Bridge bottleneck. I think once the legendary M74 extension is finally in place we’ll then see Glasgow Airport expand in the manner it deserves to.

After all there’s no better gateway to Scotland than Glasgow/Paisley Airport, or am I wrong ? 😀

I say the balkan holidays exact same plane two summers ago in 2002 at GLA. Fecking noisy

And smelly, but what a beauty !

I’ll miss these big old noisy jets when they finally go. Must get some Concorde shots when I’m at Heathrow on the 18th. 😎

I don’t know what looks best, the 737 or the hills ? 😎

A nice looking Dash pops in (and out and in again, whilst I was at GLA)

One in, one out !;)

I waited here to catch the Zoom 767 arrival and then the departing Continental flight to Newark.

I drove round to the main airport after this and had a nice chat with Loganair’s Captain Donald Sturrock as I admired his BN Islander.

He’d just had a Stornoway air ambulance trip cancelled and was waiting to see what came up next. He told me to expect the Islander’s to appear in a new interim Loganair scheme soon, as BA didn’t like having their name on such a puny aircraft. Basically removing the BA tail and wording and replacing it with the old Loganair tail and wording on the side. The blue and white basic finish will remain for the time being.

This was as he took off on a training flight with another pilot, you can just make out the day-glo vest he was wearing over his jacket.
