It was announced this month that Glasgow International Airport, in its 50th year of operation, has experienced its busiest May on record with almost 830,000 passengers travelling through, an increase of 5.5% compared with the same period a year ago. Domestic services were boosted by new Flybe services to Newquay, Cardiff and Exeter while increased demand for European destinations including Berlin, Milan, Bucharest and Budapest, contributed to the increase in international passenger numbers. Several South Korean flights, a first for Scotland, are scheduled for later this year and Delta Airlines confirmed it will begin a new daily summer service to New York in May 2017. Meanwhile, Air Canada Rouge kicked-off their thrice-weekly Glasgow - Toronto service when Boeing 767-333ER C-FMWU (above) touched down on Tuesday 14 June...

Snapped on Wednesday 15 June, ​N940AU (above) is the second ex-Lufthansa Boeing 737-530 to call in at Glasgow recently with N943AU having night-stopped 1/2 May. Both airliners have been acquired by Blue Air, a Romanian low-cost airline headquartered in Bucharest, with its main hubs at Henri Coandă International Airport and Turin Airport. ​N940AU`s previous identity was `Oberhausen`, bearing the German registration D-ABIP, and the aircraft will no doubt receive its YR- registration in the near future.

Fairchild Metro 23 OY-NPF is one of three of this type operated by North Flying which is based at Aalborg in Denmark. It called in at Glasgow on Monday 20 June. Metro production ended in 1998 but a large number are still flying with a wide variety of civilian and military operators across the globe.
Picture
Aerospatiale AS-365N-2 Dauphin 2 G-LCPL featured in the 2015 James Bond movie Spectre. An action sequence involving a high-speed chase with a boat containing Daniel Craig a.k.a. 007, plus Bond girl Léa Seydoux, vs the helicopter was filmed on the River Thames close to Westminster Bridge in May last year. G-LCPL can also be spotted in a recent Jaguar "It's Good To Be Bad" TV commercial.
Military
Picture
BAe 146-200 ZE708 called in at Glasgow on Thursday 2 June. This is one of two ex-civilian aircraft previously operated by TNT Airways and modified to military C.3 operating standard prior to delivery to the Royal Air Force in March 2012, the other being ZE707.
Picture
This Beechcraft 350 King Air, pictured on the morning of Saturday 4 June, arrived the previous afternoon. It bears the military serial number 16-2801 so I presume it`s on delivery to the US Army or US Air Force.

And finally, along at Greenock...
Picture
​The P1 Scottish Grand Prix of the Sea was a two-day event held off the Greenock Esplanade on Saturday 18 / Sunday 19 June. I opted to head down on Sunday when, unfortunately, low cloud and drizzle contrasted with the previous day`s fine weather when sunshine brought out the crowds in their thousands. Just like Formula 1 motor racing, heats take place at various venues throughout the year, in this case in the USA and UK, with the winning crew being the ones with the most points accumulated at the end of the season. 
Picture
US-registered Hughes 369HS N2742Y was acting as camera ship for the first P1 race but it had to call a halt when the visibility deteriorated. With no hope of an improvement the remaining power boat heats were cancelled but it has been suggested that the event could be hosted at Greenock annually, so let`s hope the mixed weather won`t deter the organisers from agreeing to a return next year.
