There are very few 747 visitors to Glasgow but over three days there were ones from three different airlines to uplift Celtic Football supporters to their UEFA Cup Final game in Seville Spain. Here the Corsair 747 has just touched down on runway 23 and is burning rubber.

Somehow she still survives at GYR but for how long?

About to Land on Runway 09 at 4-20pm. (Canon 40D 70mm)

Just taxiing off runway 23 after having landed empty at Glasgow for another full load of Celtic Football supporters who were travelling to Seville Spain for the UEFA Cup Final.

This Caravelle had a military upbringing, going to the Yugoslav AF as 7601 in 2.69. Quickly re-serialled 74101, she was sold to Aerotour 10 years later and went on to Corse Air in 2.82 after lease to EAS. Seen here carrying dual names Golfe de Porto Vecchio / Cécile. Wfu 10.88 but ferried to Franceville-M'Vengue in Gabon for instructional use by Centre Multinationale de Formation en Aviation Civile and seen there in 2008 in poor condition (the facility closed in 2001)

In the scrap compound at Air Salvage International, this aircraft which has been at Kemble for about 2 years, will shortly be broken up.

Interesting hybrid during a rare visit to Heathrow. Overpainting of registration EC-BRQ visible at top of tail. Repossessed by Iberia 6.89, re-reg EC-GAG in 4.95 and wfu at MAD in 3.03 on reaching 100,000 hrs

A splendid array of Caravelles could be seen at Athens in the Eighties - I was fortunate enough to catch 10 different examples on camera over my two visits. This one was originally Sabena's OO-SRE delivered in 3.61 and sold to Catair in 5.76, passing on to EAS (still in SN colours) then Corse Air just over a year prior to this shot. Wfu at Chateauroux 2.87 and preserved by the airport but later scrapped

Returning from a test flight in the late afternoon. Delivered four days later, becoming F-HSKY.
