    Why did the Television Companies stop showing the Farnborough or any other air shows for that matter i always looked forward to atching them each year but i know what some of you will say “You can watch them on Discovery Wings on a Saturday” but aren’t a lot of them repeats?

    Thanks

    Nice photos mate, i’ll need to try and get down to that end of the road but theres no way i’d venture onto someones land if i seen that it was growing crops or something.

    I think the last time i went near the field i’m talking about it had a small church to the left of it up the little lane and landing lights and you could sit by the white cart/black cart whatever it’s called lol

    Cheers

    BTW
    Does anyone know what buses go down abbotsinch road as the bus i got from Clydebank came the other way yesterday do any buses from the Renfrew Ferry come that way?

    Well I went to GLA yesterday got a few photos from the inside of the terminal building but was quite impressed with the views some of you guys get from Barnsford Road (A726) where the Flying School road is unfortunately a bit too far to walk and i don’t know if the bus drivers have a tendency to let you off at this part of the airport if you ask them nicely enough.

    Also at the other end of the field if i get a bus along to the far end of Abbotsinch Road when RWY23 is in use where theres a field directly facing 23 on Greenock Road (A8) but i’m not sure if this field is airport property or farmers either way i guess you’d be trespassing.

    All in All a good morning out because i got what i came for a couple of shots of the Air Atlanta 747 taking off unfortunately i couldn’t find where it was parked up to get some better photos of her before she left for Manchester.

    I know i’m probably asking too much from you guys i’ll need to get a couple of reference books me thinks lol.

    Thats what i get for asking a stupid question LOL who is the operator anyway?

    Can anyone help me with names of some books that i might be able to get in helping me with these kinds of questions like callsigns of airlines airliner markings etc.
