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.

@Williamshatnershorses I'm tempted to drive up to Edinburgh airport to see if I can see AF1!! I just want to see it 'Parked' up!

ReginaaPhalange · 01/11/2021 21:35

@Hawkins001 🤣🤣 my guess would be ear piece! Hence the shaggy hair hiding it lol!!!

All I'm allowed to say is I know someone who is very much linked to gleneagles. The staff didn't know who was staying at the hotel so the guess there was Biden, but apparently they're quite disappointed it's boris lol!

Same with Cameron House, the staff there didn’t know who was staying either and had assumed Biden.

Interested in this thread?

@Yellow85 I wonder if any of the delegates are pitched up in the local premier inn (best beds) or travelodge lol!

Probably the Tullie Inn or the Abbotsford for the minions. Someone else is at Cameron House too but don’t know who. But they had a helicopter delivered by container 🙈

Early Intel, suggested potus, but these days with security ect, one can never be too sure. I understand your perspectives and appreciate your knowledge, all the best with your duties.

@Hawkins001 the general public like to speculate. It can sometimes work in the favour of causing a diversion, such as journalists reporting that AF1 was due to land at prestwick, but indeed, as we well know, it was Edinburgh which got the privilege of welcoming the beautiful 747!

That's very true, get a large majority, and some credible sources to say they have sightings of e.g. X at x hotel, while slipping potus into a different area then hopefully by the time the official announcement is made, e.g. Potus, is in the ring of steel so to speak.

AF1 wasn't diverted because of journalists speculation though. AF1 was always planned for Edinburgh. The only thing that ?changed was the aircraft was possibly going to ferry to Prestwick after dropping POTUS.

ReginaaPhalange · 01/11/2021 22:18

@meltingappointment I never said it was.... I said speculation...

meltingappointment · 01/11/2021 22:19

I must have completely misread your post.

ReginaaPhalange · 01/11/2021 22:21

@meltingappointment for example. The daily fail reported yesterday that AF1 was due to arrive into prestwick into the early hours of this morning. Now we both know, that was never the case. Daily fail then updated their article to state infect AF1 had already landed at Edinburgh last night. Again not true. They and the sun then posted the video of Biden appearing to fall asleep at the conference at 10am this morning... which isn't true as he was still airborne at that time.

But none of the speculation caused a diversion which was what your other post suggested.

As an aside the bit about AF1 coming in after midnight was true. It was originally planned for 00:30 today.

ReginaaPhalange · 01/11/2021 22:26

Picture one - daily fail report Bidens supposed schedule.

Picture two - daily fail report Biden falling asleep at 10am at the conference today. We all know Biden was 34000ft in the air at that point. Bad or lazy journalism at its finest.

But with my post to @Hawkins001, with the daily fail posting speculation like this, chances are, loads of journalists, aircraft enthusiasts etc may have wrongly went to prestwick hoping to see AF1.

@meltingappointment it was a generalised statement. Speculation (in ANY circumstance can cause diversion). I didn't specifically say this was the case in this instance.

Honestly don't want to be arguing but you did exactly that...

The speculation didn't cause a diversion in the case of AF1. The speculation was wrong.

NigelSlatersXmasTaters · 01/11/2021 22:31

@meltingappointment you're missing the "can sometimes" bit. And if we're being picky, nobody knows whether it diverted any potential trouble! How could you know?

Not a thread for arguing though really. We're plane spotting here Grin

ReginaaPhalange · 01/11/2021 22:32

@meltingappointment you've been responding to my posts all day trying to go against everything I've said. I've been quiet all day, as have you, and now that I'm active on this thread again, you're back going against everything I've said. Another poster and I were having a light hearted chat and you've completely taken everything I've said as gospel.

You are very clearly passionate about this subject, so I will bid you goodnight and say nothing more to you.

ReginaaPhalange · 01/11/2021 22:33

*all morning.

ReginaaPhalange · 01/11/2021 22:34

@NigelSlatersXmasTaters I'm already excited to watch the planes leave tomorrow night 🤣 I've asked DH if we can go for a drive to Edinburgh airport and he just rolled his eyes at me haha!! Flight radar 24 will have to do Wink

meltingappointment · 01/11/2021 22:36

you've been responding to my posts all day trying to go against everything I've said.

Just posting what I know. It's not really my fault that differs from your posts.

You did irritate the fuck out of me when you nipped at me last night about how AF1 would never be seen on any tracker then proudly showed it on a tracker this morning.

Anyway, just to clarify, I didn't come back intentionally because you came back. I came back because I sat down after a busy evening.

I shall be off now.

meltingappointment · 01/11/2021 22:39

Oh and I have just looked at my posts on this thread. Particularly the ones in response to you. I haven't been trying to go against everything you have said. I have posted nothing but fact. If that differs from what you think that's not my fault not problem. I have hardly been following you throughout the thread though. I have commented to many people and many things.
