I don’t know where Shagalouf is, but I did operate into Turnhouse and Aldergrove many times when flying Coastal Command Ansons out of Bovingdon in 1961/2.

On the cargo ramps 201 - 207. Seeing the office in the terminal I worked at opposite stand 20 until February.

KRF01R it would appear to be.

KRF01R just took off from EDI.

500,000 watching it within minutes of them starting the engines.

Curiously, also 140,000 people following the Turkish Airlines A321 waiting to fly from Edinburgh to Istanbul that was sat on the pan...

Visible from Glasgow as it turned south

Just flown over Manchester - clearly visible at FL230 against a high cloud cover.

And similarly over Birmingham shortly after TOD. Nice left turn over Warwick, too;

Hi,

I was on the 1734 train from Haymarket to Falkirk High ( a few minutes late leaving as there was another train in front) and just as we were passing paralell to Edinburgh airport i got a glimpse of the aircraft just above the tree line having just lifted off ( managed a small photo with my mobile phone) , As the train curved north I could see it against the sun as it climbed out. It was a moving sighr

RIP

Regards

Just flew over Kenilworth. RIP Mam, thanks for your service.

& A sharpish graceful right turn just North of a rather grey Milton Keynes (notably where the Royal Train is stored and looked after at Wolverton works) at around 8000ft. Glad I was privileged to catch a view and take a moment.

I must say I'm impressed with the RAF Regiment's dressing at Northolt.

A couple of minutes out of Edinburgh

[Blink182]

At Northolt , parking on stand . Reversers not stowed....presumably to silence the Fan blade rattle ?

You'd be surprised. While I no longer work there, when I did work at EDI many moons ago, I recall the airport ops stopping for around 45-60 minutes due to a memorial flight taking place over the Castle for whatever even was being marked (possibly armed forces day or a special armistice day ceremony, I forget exactly). The red arrows and various historical aircraft were using EDI to land and take off in whatever order they had to. Many flights delayed as a result and some extremely unsympathetic passengers who decided their flight should have priority over the event. I have no idea if some people would have acted the same today, but it's a bit optimistic to assume everyone will be happy about being deled, if they were.

Well done to 99 Sqn, 63 Sqn RAF Regiment and the Staff of RAF Northolt on their duties carried out today.

Same before startup at EDI, which I wondered about, makes sense now.
