Next time you go to the layby (if 05) is in use there is a track road in towards the runway lights. Go over the stile and from the river bank you'll get a similar view. If 23 is in use 9most of the time) you really need a car. Take the Erskine road from St James Interchange. Park up near the end of the runway and you'll get the views down the runway through the fence. Photo-opportunities are great and varied at GLA despite what some folk say.

The EMB145 climbs steep enough as it is without the need of a launch pad! -- Adrian Back to top BLIMPS Guest Posted: Sun Jan 25, 2004 11:19 pm    Post subject: Re: GLA end of runway pics "GLAsgow" <lanyonhanyon (AT) hotmail (DOT) com> wrote Quote: http://www.airliners.net/open.file/373647/L/ pic from BHX Anyone knows is there is a place at the end of the runways at GLA to take pics like this? I have been to lay-by but cant get pics like this Sneak into the old graveyard at the 23 end and jump atop the sorta low slung pyramid tomb (the inhabitants won't mind) and lie back like whassis name....Mike Myers and........ffs? You know who I mean, and enjoy the sight of 767's, A330's, 747's etc fly just feet above your napper, oh the joys... In my day it was BEA Viscounts, Tridents and 1-11's, and Icelandair 727's, Loftleider DC8's etc, and the swirling vortices they left behind sure made an eerie sound...

Looks like you'd also need a long telephoto lens to achieve that sort of perspective. -- GM Back to top GLAsgow Guest Posted: Mon Jan 26, 2004 4:02 pm    Post subject: Re: GLA end of runway pics thanks everyone :) been to the old graveyard love it there but not been there lately because do security not check there alot?

The fence a year or so ago had a large hole in it (surely not?) but I think it was patched up but I've never seen security there only over the other side of the Cart where I'm sure if they saw you they would call the rozzers..

Must disagree here Clive, the view down 23 from the top of that tomb is outstanding ;-) BLIMPS (and no horny bulls;-) Back to top Clive Braham Guest Posted: Mon Jan 26, 2004 11:36 pm    Post subject: Re: GLA end of runway pics "BLIMPS" <BLIMPS (AT) btopenworld (DOT) com> wrote Quote: You don't have to go into the graveyard.

I used to enjoy the Waynes World experience on that tombstone but I wouldn't reccommend cutting the fence to get in. Took the kids a couple of years ago when an Air Atlanta 747 was due in from Tenerife. They nearly messed themselves!

Last time I was at the layby, there were a big pair of BAA gates installed saying "Keep out" etc. Is this where to try and gain access or is it through the grassy area directly across from the layby entrance ?

It was fenced off some time ago but it's open again. It's private land but anglers use it too. Just follow the path to the end.
