In the 1970s I grew up at Southbarr, and went to primary school in Renfrew. This church was a place to stand at the top of, and feel like you could touch the wheels of the jets landing. There was a particular summer day some of the kids at school knew that around 5pm a group of jumbo jets were going to land at the airport. Giving us enough time to get home from school, get on our bikes and make it to the church to see this. It was an amazing experience for a young kid. Seeing what may have been the first 6 jumbo jets to land at Glasgow airport, from the highest point of the church ground.. Nice to see it all a bit better looked after now than back then.. Thank you.
Did not know this .
Fantastic work Grahame, will need to follow this journey
