Some very interesting traffic heading to Scotland for Cop 26.

PRES101 from Aerolinas Argentinas appears to be about to land at Prestwick.

Private jet LNX29KG also en route to Glasgow.

There’s a video of his motorcade on the M8 here, but fuzzy but you can see the ridiculous number of vehicles.

I thought I found it on the cameras and that shaky video confirmed it, thanks to the big white minibus thing. This is hilarious!!

Pretty daft to land in Edinburgh and not Glasgow if travelling by road. Into Glasgow airport and then 10 minutes in a car tops.
There will have been some cunning plan that led to the choice of Edinburgh over Glasgow..logistics? Parking? Who knows.

Interested in this thread?

Still a few interesting things about.
Kuwait air force out of Cambridge over Lowestoft,
USAF Osprey up by Mildenhall, not unusual but Ospreys are interesting aircraft,
Ascot RAF A400M up from Brize Norton to Inverness for a few practice loops, looks like it's heading home now,
Beluga is reloaded and away out of Chester to Hamburg

As a point of info about security around events such as COP:

1.….a warning notice to pilots issued by the UK CAA here:

nats-uk.ead-it.com/cms-nats/export/sites/default/en/Publications/Aeronautical-Information-Circulars-AICs/EG_Circ_2021_M_091_en.pdf

  1. Also elsewhere in the public domain the CAA have warned of possible GPS jamming in and around the COP area and also elsewhere in Scotland… (which might explain some of the funny tracks people were commenting on) and jamming of certain radio frequency bands….

Do any of you know if it is possible to see equivalent Marine info?
Rainbow Warrior was threatening to breach the Clyde security cordon around Glasgow.
Bloody teenagers, what can't they catch a bus with the rest of us?

Large white aircraft - 777 or 737 size - just flew over my house to land into Glasgow. Not appearing on Flightradar.

@CormoranStrikeoran, Nice pics I like the one at 12:23 with wheels down.

SpookyScarySkeletons · 01/11/2021 13:00

Fantastic pics @CormoranStrike

politics4me · 01/11/2021 13:28

It looks as if Clyde Pilots launch Skua went alongside RW.
Rainbow Warrior still inbound passed Fort Matilda.

Pics are brilliant.
Watching marine traffic now for rainbow warrior. I’ve seen some posts saying she’s too high for the erskine bridge. I’d quite like her to come up the Clyde

Williamshatnershorses · 01/11/2021 14:27

They are fantastic @CormoranStrike - were you at Craigies by any chance?!
