Other airports, military or civilian in Scotland a bit further away, but for senior visiting heads of Government, that could mean loss of face. Thus I'm guessing that their rides will drop them off, then scoot off somewhere else until needed again. If you saw the US presidential circus in motion at Rome yesterday or day before, it's hard to imagine Airforce 1 plus half a squadron of US freighters for all that procession of armoured vehicles parking around the side of the GLA terminal.

checkable detail: Scottish Daily Record quotes 400…
