It took a lot of research to pin point this location but thankfully with the use of NLS maps I was able to pinpoint fairly accurately the location. The site today is in a middle of a housing estate. Renfrew Airport closed in 1966 and the site at Abbotsinch became the airport for Glasgow. The dockside cranes along the River clyde can be just made out in the background.
