Jet Airliners
Picture
Jumbo Jets always turn a few heads at Glasgow. This is Boeing 747-436 G-BYGG of British Airways which had been en route from Sao Paulo, Brazil, to Heathrow on Sunday 1 November but couldn`t land there due to thick fog. It took-off for London on a misty Monday afternoon, immediately disappearing into low cloud as it climbed past the end of Runway 23.
Picture
The daily Icelandair flight on Monday 2 November was operated by Boeing 757-256 TF-FIU sporting the airline`s striking `Northern Lights` livery.

On Wednesday 4 November, Runway 05 was in use when a pair of Enter Air 737s arrived with Malmo fans for the second leg of the UEFA Europa League Group qualifier against Celtic FC. Boeing 737-405 SP-ENH, pictured here being towed to stand, was a first-time visitor. Right: Boeing 737-4Q8 SP-ENB touches down.

​
​Dassault Falcon 7X N714K, a Carlisle diversion which arrived at Glasgow on 1 November, had been prevented from landing at its intended destination due to the weather. After night-stopping it took-off on the afternoon of the 2nd and made another attempt to land at Carlisle but the small airport was still clagged-in, forcing the biz-jet to return to Glasgow an hour later! It finally left here on the morning of the 4th.

`Poker 44`, an all-white US Army Cessna UC-35A Citation Ultra, serial number 99-0101 with `United States of America` titles, made its first visit on Thursday 5 November, as did `Boxer 51`, the pair of RAF Typhoons. Royal Air Force King Air 200 ZK458 did an overshoot of Runway 23 at 1020hrs on Tuesday 17th using the call-sign `Cranwell 79`.​

The pair of front-line fighters were overnighting, visiting students of the local University Air Squadron, and showing what they can ultimately achieve if they join the RAF and persevere with their flight training. This is an annual event attended by various, usually individual aircraft but the last time I managed to photograph a formation of combat jets at Glasgow was way back in March 2006 before the cuts in defence spending took their toll and drastically reduced the overall number and types of attack aircraft. Despite the abysmal weather on Thursday, a handful of local photographers waited in the rain to capture the Typhoons` arrival.

This memorial, just a couple of kilometres away from Glasgow International, marks the site of Renfrew Airport which served the city of Glasgow until decommissioning in 1966. Already in existence as a military facility during the First World War, the Renfrew aerodrome first handled scheduled flights in 1933. A new terminal building was opened in 1954 but it soon became apparent that the airport was unable to cope with the increasing demand for domestic air travel. 
Picture
Following the airport`s closure, the area directly adjacent to the runway became the first urban part of the M8 motorway when it opened to traffic in March 1968. By 1978 the entire airport had been demolished and a Tesco supermarket and primary school now stand on the site of the former terminal. Housing and playing fields now cover the remainder of the area and the only airport building to survive is the `Flying Scotsman` pub, previously `The Viscount`, which was originally the Hertz car rental offices. It stands directly opposite where the main terminal would have been.

​
​The main inscription on the memorial reads:

`In 1910 J. G. Weir used a field in Renfrew for flying experiments. During W.W.1 the Royal Flying Corps established a base at Renfrew. The birth of civil aviation in Scotland took place in Renfrew at the end of W.W.1 when Weirs and Beardmores commenced using the aerodrome.

The Air Ambulance Service and City of Glasgow No.602 squadron were also formed during this period. Renfrew Aerodrome the Cradle of Civil Aviation in Scotland expanded steadily and was honoured in 1933 by becoming the first municipal airport in Scotland.

At the end of W.W.2 during which Renfrew Airport played a significant role in civil aviation resumed and expanded rapidly. British European Airways made their base at Renfrew. Many other carriers also moved in. Slowly but surely the demand for additional space outstripped that available and Renfrew Airport known as the friendliest and safest airport in Britain was forced to close in 1966. Renfrew Airport played a major role in Scotland`s aviation history. The Royal Burgh of Renfrew and its citizens were proud to be part of it.
