Hello all,

As you'll know Glasgow hosted many world leaders for the COP26 Climate Summint back in early November. There was a decent turn out of government jets split between the three larger airports in Scotland. Here's a selection of my shots from EDI and GLA.

Enjoy

Cheers,

Mark.

You did very well to catch all those in some fantastic conditions, very vivid colours throughout.

Thanks for sharing these, a good mixture of types and schemes. It was just a shame that I couldn't get up there to see them for myself, but can't get everywhere I suppose.

Fabulous collection and most if not all in perfect light. A joy to watch

Great set Mark

Nice set especially 4,5 and 16

Brilliant selection and some great looking aircraft.

Lovely mate!

Excellent set.

Thanks for posting.

Very nice indeed

Great set, thanks for sharing

Absolutely superb set, hard to pick a favourite! Many thanks for sharing.

Having only seen the Aircraft which visited Edinburgh I can only comment on them, naturally the Americans Air Force One, C-32A and various C-17s and C-40s would be the stars, although the Lithuanian C-27J, Nambian Falcon 7X and the Serbian Embraer 135 along with the Canadian CC-150 amongst others were really good to see, Sadly I missed the Russian Falcon 7X but did manage to catch the Tu-204 if only at night! I have enjoyed looking at the pictures of the Aircraft which visited Glasgow and Prestwick - especially the Korean Jumbo.

Many thanks for all the kind words guys!

Great collection of many rare aircraft.
