Yes Renfrew Airport, GLA’s predecessor just along the road. It closed in the sixties and that beautiful terminal buiding was left to rot until it got demolished in the late 70’s. The runway is now the stretch of M8 motorway between junction’s 27 and 26. A straighter stretch of motorway you’ll be hard pressed to find.

I re-size it using the picture editing software RogerS recommended. It needs to be around 70×70 to be accepted as an avatar on here. If you look at mine to the left, a picture of Renfrew Airport, it started life like this…
The software is free and downloadable from http://www.irfanview.com it’s also good for making pictures bigger for on here, you can mess with the colours and sharpness etc too.
I once observed a Virgin 744 over Celtic Park at something like 50,000 feet through my 900mm tv lens. Then I had to go back to boring stuff like close ups of Henrik Larsson !:D
I guess it pays to fly with an airline who’s pilot’s don’t suffer from vertigo or is this an extreme example of using major roads as navigational aids ? 😀
