Local traffic at Glasgow.....

Was on the way home from some shopping this morning and had the camera in the car for a change so took the oppor-chancity to snap a couple of pic's. First 4 aren't great a wee bit dark and slightly on the wonk! (I need to start using the eye viewfinder and not the LCD display on the cam)

The last 2 I'm chuffed with, made me want to go on hol's somewhere far away and hot!! Not sure where this big beastie was off to today, but she took a good bit of tarmac to get airborne.

Here's the pic's -

Air Lingus A320 turns onto Rwy 05 and holds for departure clearance, a nice clean looking jet too.

The A320 was followed quickly by one of the 2 Twin Otters operated by FlyBe (ex-BA Regional and in not quite as nice a livery in my opinion!), and pootled off at its own gentle pace requiring only a few feet to get airborne!!

Lastly, this big beauty from a different vantage point and in a better break in the clouds. This machine is enormous for a twin jet and I once had a rather close call with a Monarch A330. The Thomas Cook aircraft always appear to be very clean, and this one particularly so.

Thank's for taking a peek,

I used to work for an aircraft engineerig company in Edinburgh that used to do the ground handling for Scare Lingus.

I can't see the reg but it was an Aer Lingus A320 was my first Heavies pushback.

Aer Lingus A320 was EI-CVA! Found it here www.egpf.vze.com

That Aer Lingus cheat line always makes me thing they have grafted on the nose of another aircraft!!

I know what you mean!!! A real Cut 'n' Shut job! The trend for vertical lines on airliners is, IMHO, not at all attractive!

Great photo of that A330-200 though, Eng! One of the nicest aircraft I have had the pleasure of flying!!
