Preserved aircraft in Scotland
Preserved aircraft in Scotland
Yesterday I overflew a fairly large aircraft outside a hangar or shed about ten minutes to the south of Glasgow Airport. Any ideas?

A bit longer than 10 minutes maybe? :- https://www.solway-aviation-museum.co.uk/

Depends what they were flying in and how fast. 500mph is 83 miles in 10 minutes, so not far away? If they were in a Cessna 172 no chance
Solway has multiple aircraft outside and poster says a fairly large aircraft not mentioning multiples, so maybe not.....

I was on a BA A320 flight. The aircraft looked like a DC-4 or similar and was on it's own.
