Mic in Edinburgh Part 2

[Mictheslik]

This is where the quality goes down so i could get them into as few threads as possible. we are now in Edinburgh and met by the thousands of flyerers for the many shows that are taking place.

The castle from princes Street

     

The castle from the Grassmarket

     

Costorphine Church yard, which is in a small suburb of Edinburgh that we were staying in)

     

The end of the Runway at Edinburgh Airport....the train line goes right along the airport boundary

     

The firth of forth from the northern side early in the morning

     

Planespotters.....What is this?? We saw quite a few of them!

     

A statue of peter Pan in Kirriemuir, the place where JM Barrie was born and the place where my granny lives.




The forth road bridge      



The water of leith near the Telford Bridge



Same place.      




The week continues in part 3!

Pretty scenery... to bad the weather wasn't a tad bit better!

I'm going for a Tornado in that planespotter-shot...  ;)

I'll back Omag on that... looks like a Tornado

Love the shots in all three sets Mic!

Tornado F3 I expect, seeing as RAF Leuchars is about 20 miles up the road over the Firth of Forth...

Nice shots Mic...

Not sure actually, looks more like a GR4 to me (short nose) but as has been said an F3 is most likely with RAF Leuchars being in the same region.

If you'd stayed on your train past Edinburgh en route to Aberdeen for some more stops you would have found yourself just outside that particular base

Impossible to say at that angle and distance - could have been a GR4 transiting across the Forth...

[Mictheslik]

it is a Tornado (and I think an F3)

I did stay on the train to Dundee, as I visited my granny in kirriemuir which is about 15 miles north of Dundee.

1 Tornado went over whilst we were on the train, and i got a better view of this one and it was an F3, and a training aircraft, possibly a Tucano took off from Leuchars while we were at the station and came over our train.

Then on the bus to Kirriemuir 2 Tornadoes came over the road just behind the bus so i whipped out the camera and got this rather poor shot.
