This programme of archive aviation films celebrates the 50th anniversary of Glasgow Airport.
Sunday 15 May (14.30)
Running time: 1h30m
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Glasgow Airport, we present a programme of archive aviation films from 1932-2013, featuring air shows and circuses, Concorde’s first Scottish visit, the Maia/Mercury experiment on the Tay and the first flight of Europe’s longest running air service. Including footage of pioneering Scottish pilot Winnie Drinkwater, the last days of Renfrew Airport and the first of the state-of-the-art Glasgow Airport, this is a fascinating flight through the history of Scottish aviation.
The programme was put together for the Moving Image Archive/National Library of Scotland by AOP (Another Orkney Production) and will be introduced by Moya McDonald of AOP.
