Operated by Titan Airways, G-XATW from Stansted. Presumably bringing the PM for his 2-day visit.

I see on FR24 that GLA have 5 in the hold at the moment, (3 over Lanark and 2 just east of Kilmarnock) as they switch from RWY 23 to RWY 05, probably for weather avoidance.

Wonder if the 2 x EZY's will just gas and go? You'd be pretty pissed to fly from BFS only to land at EDI and be bussed to GLA. :shock:
Looks like FR46VR from AGP done 7 complete loops. Must carry more fuel than EZY? :lol:

Seen the KLM and also heard it climbing rapidly as he skirted the Greater Metropolitain District of Bishopton. :lol:

EZY359C from BRS had one loop around Lanark, headed over for a 05 approach and now in a loop north of Kilmarnock while the BA shuttle 6F just sails straight past him and onto finals. Crazy goings on to match the crazy weather.

BUT SHT6F has just broken off approach - might be switching to 23

SHT6F never made it onto finals. Heading towards Port Glasgow now and climbing whilst EZY359C continues his loops.
