Some of the A320's have returned to LHR.

A321s G-EUXH, XK and XL all performed GLA-GLA engineering flights yesterday. It was mentioned on Flyertalk that this is the first step of the A321s returning to LHR.

On a related note, A320 Neo G-TTND positioned to GLA for maintenance today.

This is a good link to check status of individual aircraft but is not always up to date.

It's got harder over time to track what aircraft are in storage as BA have also been shuttling aircraft up from LHR for maintenance at the hanger.

The other day there were 7 A321, A319 DBCE and A320 UUF over at the short runway plus the 3 A321 that had been transferred over to the terminal side, and whatever the hanger had. A320 UYH is shown on the BA Source as being stored at GLA but shows as operating a flight to BCN on FR24 on the 6th July. Last I saw on Sunday it was parked on 64.

LMRB looks good in its LM colours.

I saw it in DND on Thursday morning on my way to Holyrood. First commercial airliner I’ve seen since 08MAR 20.

Well caught - Shots from this spot are becoming much more difficult due to the construction work. I take it there wasn`t much doing as it was Sunday.

Cheers.

Sounds like a place to avoid for me - This position will probably disappear altogether once the buildings start to go up. It will be interesting to see whether there will be any vantage point at all on this stretch once the development nears completion.

I note BA A321 G-MEDM, has transferred from Bournemouth to Glasgow in the last half hour as I write. Presumably this is in for maintenance too ? Seems to have parked beside Loganair for now.

Couple of Chinooks over the Govan/Renfrew area just now. Make the usual helicopters look a touch pathetic.

EUXF came north from Bournemouth on Monday as well. Monday afternoon had 9 on 09/27, two 321's at hangar, 320's on 64/65/7, and two more 321's on 19 and 21.
