Glasgow 2nd November 2021 - COP26 Trip

 A three day trip up to Glasgow and Prestwick was made to try and catch some of the visiting aircraft for the COP26 United Nations Climate Change Conference.

We left home in the very early hours of Tuesday 2nd arriving at Glasgow Airport before dawn, The following were taken over the next six hours or so ..


Titan Airways A321 Neo G-XATW (aka "the Boris Jet").


Indian Air Force B777-300 K-7066


A big highlight for me 
Egyptian Government A340-200 SU-GGG arriving on the short hop from Prestwick. I had previously seen this in Beijing back in 2018 but was unable to get a clean photograph.



A lovely bonus in some great light, British Airways' A320 Neo G-TTNA wearing their "Better World" scheme.



Japan Force One, B777-300 80-1112 on short final from Tokyo.



Bahrain Government Gulfstream G650 A9C-BAH 


Belgian Air Force Falcon 7X OO-LUM


Second big highlight for me, Korean Air Force B747-400 10001 (aka HL7465) arriving from Gatwick, especially good to catch this great looking Jumbo as it was due to be retired very shortly after the event.




Swiss Air Force Citation 560 T-784


Bolivian Air Force Falcon 900 FAB-001 arriving on its positioning flight from Prestwick.


Mauritania Airlines B737-MAX8 5T-CLJ also ferrying over from Prestwick early afternoon.


With only a few other bits due we decided to forgo them and get ourselves over to Prestwick to catch the movements there in the remaining daylight.
