Saw them both as I passed this morning and also the departure of a Cargolux 748 and the overshoot of that pesky RAF Airbus prop which has been doing the rounds.

So yeah, it’s like business as usual at PIK.

Perhaps SG should look at its own airport to reduce the risk of importing COVID-19 . . . . . 32 out of its 36 weekly flights are to/from Spain & Portugal!

Observational humour only, no political commentary intended. The same Ayrshire politicos who continue to demand that PIK stay open for all types of activity would probably kick up a right fuss about building a disease-ridden quarantine centre in their Ayrshire backyards.
I suspect you have that 100% spot-on.

Wasn't particularly aware of it but happened to be down a Prestwick this afternoon and saw it leave. Roads were mighty busy right enough. Can't seem to get my photo uploaded. Will do if I can get it to work

The roads on the northside were virtually gridlocked, the A77 was solid back to Symington at 1400, a quick diversion through the village took me down to the A78, which was solid, but slowly moving from Loans. Traffic in Monkton was going nowhere, so I saw the landing from the car. Took an hour to get round to the flying club for coffee. Managed to get along to the A78 end for the departure, as seen here.
