tannerall 25,935 Posted March 30, 2020 Author Share Posted March 30, 2020 2 hours ago, thedarvelmarvel said: the aproach to renfrew airport was over ibrox,when glasgow opened the 60,s the flight path in was over the river.out was over barrhead Yeah, that's why they built the Broomloan Flats and filled it with taigs, so the pilot would know to swerve round and take the correct flight path, if they got it wrong especially the older ones who were in the habit of flying over Ibrox, which was a listed building and therefore more important than the Broomloan flats. Please don't let the facts interfere with the sensible reasons I've given above. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
