Old Photographs Renfrew Airport Scotland
Old photograph of Renfrew Airport by Glasgow, Scotland. Already in existence as a military facility during the First World War, it first handled scheduled flights in 1933 with the first regular destination being Campbeltown. The final departure took place on 2 May 1966, its destination being the new Glasgow Airport a few hundred metres away. The airport features briefly in the second novel of a space opera series by Angus MacVicar, Return to the Lost Planet. One of the characters is about to fly back from Scotland to Berlin, but the hero and his companion join him at the last minute on the bus from St. Enoch, Glasgow, to the airport, and persuade him to stay and help them.
