I can actually hear it.
I saw it. You can see the camera setup in this one:

A picture came to mind of Gembo, a fist full of mini sausage rolls in one hand, trying to get a chunky chicken vol-au-vent into his mouth with the other, all while inverted somewhere over Loch Leven.
From there is was just a short leap to Scouts eating lunch on a roller coaster:

I plan to self-medicate before my flight to make sure I have fun of some kind. Surprised you didn't.

Chutes were in standard use by the time I was a member. However most gliding takes place below the height where you could open one in time to land. Their main purpose was as cushions.
Spotted a 747 leaving Edinburgh bound for China. Although I didn't get a good look as it went behind a tree.

"This cow is far away."
We were expecting the usual flight path and hadn't taken into account how big those things are and just how shallow their takeoff angles are.

Logo is for a Romanian tandem skydive company TNT brothers. Many pictures of the plane's various paint jobs over the years.

@Frenchy - Mr G on Gilmerton Rd? Any brass bands?

Possibly Laidback zooming passed on the way down the Granites. Like a rocket.

A400 Atlas (big military transport job) over Crammond today, looped round for touch and go at Edinburgh.
No sign of rocket or later ISS pass for me.

I looked anyway for SpaceX, even though I knew we were almost certainly too far north. I think the most northerly sighting will have been in the Midlands. My friend's cousin in north Wales got a good photo, though it appeared little different from a regular contrail.
I was watching the military plane on Flightradar24, but was nowhere convenient to photograph it.

Quiet that early. Was also quiet heading west to west of tinto hill for the best descent in. Southern Scotland - wide road, good surface, very scenic. Was a bit hard today (the descent0 intro the wind.
Busier on return with much infringement from people parking in the farmer’s gates, 4 cyclists in a gang and 6 bikers doing the ton within metres of each other and being chased by souped up drivers. Fortunately this was very near the end of my ride.

Harperrig carpark has opened. Ahead of the other pentlands car parks, bit further than 5 miles (even from Wild West Balerno)

@gembo That's interesting about Harperrig carpark. One of my colleagues wanted to go for a walk there on Friday after seeing my photos of the reservoir. I told him that I didn't think the carpark would be open yet. I am not going to mention that is it open until the lockdown is fully lifted since he lives Glasgow way, so not local for him at all.
Was a black van still parked at the entrance of fenced car park at the Thieves Rd/Cauldstane slap walk (Little Vantage car park?) ?
A young couple were getting ready for their walk when I passed about 7.20am. They were all dressed up in colourful outdoorsy stuff, so looked like a thy were planning a longer walk.Posted 4 years ago # -
Black van there yesterday and today

@bill
Does your work colleague come into the workplace daily from near Glasgow?
The West Lothian Tourist Board should be paying you for all those amazing photos of beautiful West Lothian
