The Hidden Glasgow Forums

On a similar theme I couldn't resist posting these. Whether or not they are real or fake; who cares, they gave me a laugh.

The odd thing is, the day Sharon posted this thread, I was actively looking for ideas for a short project to make some use o...

Here is my attempt... not really finished but probably as good as mine will get. Cannae find anything suitable for the 'PIPE' category so there's a really shite one there for the moment that may change when I recharge my camera :D http://members.lycos.co.uk/copperbloo/photos/thumbnails.php?album=5 ...

I flew out of Prestwick a LONG time ago on the most beautiful passenger aircraft ever built. Any guesses? British built, now has a military role.

Bound for New York, she'd pick up passengers there, but couldn't totally fuel up as BH runway isn't long enough for the extra weight, so would stop off at a military ...
