Nice to see G-APES I was fortunate to fly on her out of Dublin in 1971. :thumb:

Nice shot John, I presume it was taken down the Turnhouse Road near the old 31 threshold? :)

...absolutely!! My brother Tom was into trains, so a compromise was reached as the Forth Bridge railway line passed the 31 threshold - ISTR there was a bridge over the railway used by farmers....that's what we stood on.
