Edinburgh airport control tower
A somewhat foreshortened view of the 57 metre high control tower at Edinburgh airport. The drainage channels arranged in a double helical pattern, and the zinc cladding tiles (9126 in total) are clearly visible. The tower opened in 2005, with Reid and Arup (respectively) providing architectural and engineering expertise.

Air Traffic Control Tower, Edinburgh
Unlike many initially attractive modern buildings, this one still catches the eye as it did when built nearly 8 years ago.

Spitfire at Turnhouse
Now Edinburgh International Airport. This aircraft will be familiar to all who visit Edinburgh Airport. Not sure what the aircraft actually is*, since Spitfire Mk Ia ‘XT-D' (L1067) ‘Blue Peter' of No 603 Squadron was the personal aircraft of 603 [City of Edinburgh] Squadron Commander, Squadron Leader George Denholm DFC, who bailed out of it on the 30th of August 1940 over Snargate, Kent after combat with a Bf 110.
*J Macgregor has pointed me to http://www.scotlandsplaces.gov.uk/record/rcahms/70030/edinburgh-raf-turnhouse-airfield/rcahms?item=1217727#carousel in which it is mentioned that the Spitfire, originally at the entrance to RAF Turnhouse, is a fibre glass replica.
