Pages 7 onto 8… Sonny posted a wee pic on p7 and sought comments/further info if any of us knew… about the Model… a couple of diversions onto other places but eventually Sonny found a pic that showed all those buildings… and gasworks… and allotments, the JNI scout hut and the Model.

faraway saint Posted September 1, 2022 Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 Renfrew Airport, a wee bit before my time in using planes to get from A to B. Renfrew Airport's terminal building was the work of Scottish Modernist architect William Kininmonth, opening its doors (well, a single revolving door in fact) in 1954 with its parabola entrance. The final departure took place on 2 May 1966 – its destination being the new Glasgow Airport a few hundred metres away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep pointing out your trolling. I certainly care and possibly a few others do, too. Stop trolling: I’ll stop pointing it out. (Phew. A post to the emoticon troll without adding an unnecessary emoticon. I usually chuck in a few bright, shiny emoticons to catch his limited attention span. But doing that makes me feel dirty…). ps. I was a nobody here, long before you slithered in… to become top non-entity. pps. What kind of sad mind must you have… worrying about other people’s status on a wee, obscure online forum about a fitba team?
