It was 06/24. In the days when the main runway was 13/31, it was used mainly for light a/c - Edinburgh Flying Club C150/172 & the UAS Chipmunks. As a trainee I well remember 4 or 5 in the 06/24 circuit whilst we were using 13/31 for larger commercial a/c. Good introduction to a busy Tower for a rookie ! .We also used to use it for a/c up to Viscount size ('PK/'PH/'PD Shuttle) when there were strong W or SW winds.
Don't know when it closed, though.
