My taxi back to Schiphol: Airbus A330-303 PH-AKD on the ramp at Windhoek Airport, Saturday 6 October 2018.
October`s summary is very light on photos due to holidays and other commitments but coverage should be back to normal next month. Firstly, I visited Namibia for the third time, routing via Amsterdam and Luanda, the latter airport having a very interesting mix of civilian and military aircraft, some of which I managed to shoot from the plane while it was on the ground for a refuel. The images and more information on Angola`s main airport can be viewed here. 
Picture
Windhoek's Hosea Kutako Airport seems a pretty laid back place, surprisingly so when you consider that it`s the country`s only international airport with long-haul connections. Eurowings Airbus A330-203 D-AXGC, plus Embraer ERJ-145LRs V5-WEB and V5-WEW of Westair Aviation are pictured below.

Early morning at Amsterdam Schiphol. Sunday 7 October 2018.
Unfortunately, it was dark when we landed at Luanda on the way back and although we reached Schiphol around dawn for the connecting flight to Glasgow there didn`t seem to be a great deal of activity, at least within range of where I was. A321-211 D-ASPD of Small Planet Airlines Germany is on the left.

My next holiday this month was a complete contrast to the baking 45 degree temperatures of the Etosha Pan - The Isle of Mull in the rain! The only fine day during the whole week was on the Saturday when we came home - the skies were clear and Ben More and its neighbours all had a good covering of overnight snow following a change in the wind direction, which now blew down from the Arctic. Hopefully I`ll have better luck with the Scottish weather next time! 

​Mull is a great destination, renowned for its scenery and wildlife if not its weather, but it isn`t the place to go if you`re looking to see aircraft. There is a small grass strip at Glenforsa on the east side of the island which hosts a well-attended fly-in in summer but the airfield shuts down totally during the winter months. The only aircraft photographed while I was on the island was this Lufthansa A380 flyover which appeared through a rare gap in the clouds.  ​

I called in at Oban Airport before boarding the outbound CalMac ferry on Saturday 20 October and spoke to the pilot of Cirrus SR20GTS G-JOID who was heading back down to Lee-on-Solent after spending some time on the west coast, including Skye. Glensanda-based bulk carrier Yeoman Bontrup, visible in the background in the above view, had dropped anchor offshore while waiting to berth at the super quarry on the west side of Loch Linnhe. Sister ship Yeoman Bridge was alongside the quay.
Picture
The `Super Quarry`, which has been in operation since 1982, is owned and managed by the Aggregate Industries group and lies within the 2,400 hectare Glensanda Estate on the Morven peninsula. 

Granite is mined from Meall na h-Easaiche quarry which lies high up on the coastal mountain from which it takes it name. In an effort to reduce the detrimental aesthetic impact in such a scenic area, the quarry has been dug downwards into the core of the mountain, around a mile inland. 

​Controlled blasting usually dislodges around 70,000 tons of granite each time which is collected by massive dumper trucks and taken to the primary crusher. 
Thereafter, the smaller lumps are deposited on a conveyor belt which carries them and adds them to the permanent rock pile waiting to be processed at the top of a 1,000ft long vertical shaft known as the `Glory Hole`.

​Once they`ve fallen to the base of the shaft, the rocks are transferred to a second conveyor and carried for a mile, still deep underground, to the second crusher on the shore next to the deep water jetty.

​Glensanda`s ocean-going bulk carrier fleet transports up to 6,000,000 tons of granite aggregates all over the world annually. Despite the vast amount currently exported, it`s estimated that the quarry has reserves to last for up to 100 years. 
Picture
Below: Extra 400 D-EXKG has been stranded at Oban since 13 July when it left the runway and came to grief following an aborted takeoff due to a flock of birds which forced the pilot to take evasive action. The aircraft was still awaiting assessment for possible recovery to Switzerland for a rebuild when this shot was taken. Fortunately the engine was undamaged although the prop and front wheel needed replacement.
Picture
​​Over on the island, the Mull Museum on Tobermory`s main street is worth a look. Among the exhibits are pieces from, and information on some of the aircraft that have been wrecked on the island`s hills, particularly during the Second World War. The largest section on display is from the nose of RAF C-47B Dakota KK194 which crashed on Beinn Talaidh (763m / 2,502ft) en route to Prestwick Airport in Ayrshire, Scotland, on Thursday 1 Feb 1945 during a ferry flight from Canada. On board were 3 crew and 5 passengers, all RAF officers.

​During the Second World War, thousands of small to medium-sized aircraft arrived on British soil at ports around the country having been transported on cargo ships. The `heavies`, however, as well as numerous other types, flew in from North America via Iceland and many passed through Prestwick before heading to their allocated squadrons. ​This Imperial War Museum photo shows the Transport Command Delivery Park on the Northeast Apron at Prestwick where planes were marshalled after being flown across the Atlantic. Among the types present are Consolidated Liberators, Douglas Dakotas, North American Mitchells, and Canadian-built Avro Lancaster B Mark Xs.
After a fuel and rest stop at Meeks Field (Reykjavik), KK194 proceeded towards RAF Prestwick, passing over the Western Isles and Inner Hebrides, but by this time the weather conditions were horrendous. It may be that the aircraft was flying lower than normal due partly to pilot disorientation and partly to icing on the wings, which would have made it very difficult for the pilot to maintain sufficient altitude. On reaching Mull, the aircraft failed to clear Beinn Talaidh and crashed 200 feet below the summit. The plane then slid a further 500ft down the mountain on the snow and ice, at which level visibility improved somewhat. ​
Picture
Three crew members including the pilot died in this accident, and five survived, one of whom sent up flares. After assisting others, F/L Auchinvole, who had sustained a back injury, set off down Glen Forsa to raise the alarm and met the first rescue party heading up the glen. F/L Auchinvole was able to give them the location of the crash site before passing out from his injuries and exhaustion. His colleagues were rescued and the bodies of those who died were recovered, in the latter case at a later date by Norwegian commandos who were training in the area.

Most of the wreckage has since been cleared but a propeller has been embedded in a granite boulder above the gully where the aircraft came to rest to act as a memorial to those who lost their lives. A small plaque is attached to one of the blades with the following inscription: `Dakota Mk IV KK194. Those who lost their lives were the following: Sqn Ldr Archibald Earnest Alderton 73083 RAFVR, Kings Courier and passenger, F/O Frank Bishop 162502 RAFVR Pilot, F/O Herbert Ellis 158646 RAFVR passenger. In their memory this memorial was attached to the propeller blade from KK194 by the Vice-chairman and Hon. Secretary of the Aircrew Association, Highland Branch, Inverness on 1st February 2005.`

The board displays artefacts collected from the wreckage of Bristol Beaufort Torpedo Bomber L7803 which crashed on Ben More, Mull`s highest peak and only Munro. (A hill or mountain that reaches or exceeds 3,000 feet (914 metres)). Although it was designed as a torpedo-bomber, the Beaufort was more often used as a medium day bomber. The type also flew more hours in training than on operational missions and more were lost through accidents and mechanical failures than were lost to enemy action. The Beaufort was adapted as a long-range heavy fighter variant to become the Beaufighter, which proved to be very successful.
Picture
Back at Glasgow several construction projects are ongoing, the first of which is the realignment of Abbotsinch Road. The road itself is unaffected at present but trenches have been dug by a company specialising in archaeology in the fields to the east, between the airport and the White Cart Water. The survey, which I assume is essential to test the suitability of the ground before the actual realignment work begins, finished by the end of the month.  
Picture
Picture
The trenches can be seen in the top right hand side of the left hand photo above. Much of this area will be eventually be occupied by a new business park.
Unfortunately, this means that some of the local wildlife including this fox will be displaced.
Picture
Picture
The sewer network project is progressing well with trenches for pipes now being dug beside the Runway 05 threshold at the west end of the airport. Due to the proximity of the M8 Motorway, Barnsford Road, the busy St James Interchange and the main Glasgow - Gourock / Wemyss Bay railway line it seems that the route has to cut through the airfield rather than skirt the perimeter. Pipe-laying continues inside the perimeter, and by the end of the month had passed the Paisley Moss Local Nature Reserve and was heading in the direction of the Loganair hangar.
Picture
Picture
Work is also underway at the Airport Fire & Rescue training area (above left) but I don`t know if this is connected. The other shots show the sewer pipe project in the fields opposite Crash Gate 11 beside Barnsford Road.

The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) announced that 956,000 passengers had passed through Glasgow International last month which is down 1.7% compared with September 2017. This makes the rolling total for this year 9.8 million, which is down 0.4%. Now that the long spell of record breaking figures has come to an end, at least for the foreseeable future, Glasgow Airport has been very slow to mention the current totals.
Picture
Speculation continues that the ongoing expansion of the West Pier is to accommodate the Airbus A380. It would a coup for the airport if Emirates do decide to use the world`s biggest airliner on their Dubai - Glasgow route. especially with the expected downturn in passenger numbers, but the reason for the upgrade work won`t become clear until well into next year. 
Picture
Wednesday 31 October was of course Halloween which meant the skies above Scotland were even busier than usual, with aircraft in flight joined by covens and individual witches whizzing about as they relocated for the festivities. These along with assorted spectres and swarms of bats put already overstretched Air Traffic Controllers under additional pressure for a time.
Picture
As can be seen, ​not everyone followed instructions from the tower to the letter. At least the broomstick looks none too worse for wear, which is more than can be said for its pilot!
Picture
Picture
Back in the real world, the first of the migrant geese and Whooper Swans are arriving to overwinter in the fields around the airport which keeps Airside Ops busy, firing-off flares in an attempt to reduce the risk of a bird strike. Although goose numbers are healthy, twenty years ago around 250-300 Whoopers could be found feeding beside the Black Cart Water seasonaly but now 30 - 40 seems to be the norm.

​The Royal Canadian Navy`s Halifax-class Frigate HMCS Toronto (F333) made a visit to Glasgow this month, having arrived on Friday 26 October. I didn`t manage to catch her on her way upriver to the KGV Dock but got a few snaps on Monday 29th when she passed the Titan Crane at Clydebank on her way out to sea after spending the weekend in the city. The warship had recently been engaged in NATO's Canadian-led Enhanced Forward Presence (EFP), a multinational military operation in Poland and the Baltic states intended to deter Russian aggression. It was after completing Intermediate Multi-Ship Readiness Training (IMSRT), and enjoying a visit to Reykjavik, Iceland, that HMCS Toronto came to the Clyde.
Picture
Runway 05 was in use on the Monday and had Boeing 777-36N(ER) A6-EBO taken off just two minutes earlier I`d have got a good shot of the Emirates jet climbing above the warship. Later that same afternoon, soon after HMCS Toronto cleared the outer Firth, she experienced a power outage and was forced to spend several hours adrift before the ship’s technicians managed to restore power. The vessel then put in to Belfast, Northern Ireland, for repairs. In a separate incident involving another Royal Canadian Navy Halifax-class frigate, the lead ship HMCS Halifax experienced a minor fire in its forward engine room on October 26. The fire broke out in a gas turbine enclosure and was quickly extinguished by the crew. HMCS Halifax was underway in the Norwegian Sea as part of NATO exercise Trident Juncture at the time. No injuries were reported as a result of either incident.
Turboprop Airliners
Picture
Scotland`s carrier Loganair plans a major expansion and fleet change over the next three years. It currently operates a variety of aircraft comprising three Twin Otters, two Dornier Do-328-100s, five Saab 2000s, two Saab 340A (QC)s, eleven Saab 340Bs, two Saab 340(F)s and a pair of BN-2 Islanders. The only non-prop at present is an Embraer ERJ-145 leased from flybmi but both Dornier and most Saab 2000 turboprops will be replaced by additional Embraer jets before January 2020. Increased fuel costs associated with the ERJ’s operation should be offset against their additional capacity and reliability thus reducing maintenance, repair and overhaul outgoings. Some Saab 2000s will be kept meantime as several Scottish airfields served by Loganair have very short runways which are unsuitable for the operation of Embraer jets. Meanwhile, the only noteworthy prop visiting Glasgow International this month was BN-2-B-26 Islander G-HEBS of Hebridean Air Services which called in on the 11th and 14th.
