One of six Raptors arriving in the evening.

At 63 years, 59-1537 might well be one of the oldest C-130s still flying? A welcome and rare visitor to Glasgow today. It arrived from Rome and headed to Keflavik after taking on some fuel. The large sticker on the tail is to celebrate on the occasion of the centennial birth anniversary of the founding leader of Bangladesh, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.

During the latest flying training course by 846 Naval Air Squadron, this Merlin HC4 operated close to the cliffs on the east coast of Scotland for a bit.

One of three Merlins present for exercise MILEX 2022 - a two week training course for pilots and rear crew. A welcome sight at Royal Marine Base Condor!

One of the two VH-60N White Hawks is about to disappear in a C-17A Globemaster III to ba taken back to the USA after COP26.

After the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) in Glasgow, the USAF brought in two C-17s to take both VH-60Ns back to the USA.

Back in the day when 662 VGS was still active with their Vikings.

Milex 2022 is the final course for Merlin pilots and crew. When they pass this course, they will be ready to join an operational Merlin squadron. For this exercise, 846 Naval Air Squadron operates from Royal Marine Base Condor, Arbroath. This is one of three Merlins taking part in the exercise. The Merlin HC4 is an upgraded Merlin HC3, easily recognisable with the folding tail and the new nose.

Nice wee visitor to Scotland.

On 1 January 1945 Lancaster DP377 'WS-U' was involved on a dawn attack on the Dortmund-Ems canal, when the bomber was badly hit by two shells, setting the aircraft ablaze. FS Thompson noticed the mid-upper gunner on fire and helped him to a safe place. Badly burned himself, he went to drag the rear-gunner, also ablaze, to a safe space. The aircraft crash landed and the crew were taken to hospital. Thompson started to recover, but developed pneumonia and passed away. Two weeks later he was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross, now proudly commemorated on the tail of this 9 Sqn Typhoon FGR4.

Recently, the remaining 14 CP-140 went through the Block IV upgrade and the most visible modification is the large Wideband Global SATCOM radome on top of the fuselage. 140111 operated from RAF Lossiemouth for a while in May this year.

The last Poseidon MRA1, as yet un-named, heads the line at RAF Lossiemouth.

Perhaps the last time the F-15Cs of the 493rd FS "Grim Reapers" used the Scottish low fly system. The 'LN' tail code has already been removed, as are the squadron markings - which indicates that this jet will soon leave for the USA.
