Hello all, just a wee story that occurred yesterday, but true. I was driving on the motorway to Glasgow approaching Glasgow airport, where the active runway 05 runs almost parallel with the motorway, when the rear end of an aircraft simlar to a SAAB 340 twin prop passed overhead to land when I saw the landing gear was still up. within seconds I saw the aircraft do a G/A. The weather was clear. I wondered to myself, surely the crew must have been fore warned that landing was out of the question and looking around the airport there was no sign of any emergency vehicles nearby. This airport is Scotlands reputedly busiest, but living nearby I havnt seen the like before. Theres always a first time. Quite exciting to see. richard welsh

Possibly calibrating the ILS, seen a 767 come down to 200ft gear up and TOGA around and land normally, the calibrator was also at EGLC the other day, causing us hell as London wouldn't release us till the PA-31 Cheyenne had done it's rounds. I was supposed to be shuttling up to GLA the other day but got the flu and called in sick, the FO who got standby'd onto it text me telling me there was a delay, most likely because of the calibrator! Regards
