Prestwick Airport, Scotland
A Laker Airways Skytrain DC10 parked on the apron of the Airport. Sir Frederick Alfred Laker (6.8.1922 to 9.2.2006) was one of the first airline owners to adopt the "no frills" airline business model that has since proven to be very successful worldwide. The Skytrain was the world's first daily transatlantic low fare scheduled service.

Prestwick Airport terminal building
Known better as Glasgow Prestwick, this airport handles mainly cargo and budget flights. Regular airlines include Ryanair, LTE and Wizz Air, and cargo craft from Air France, British Airways, Evergreen, Atlas Air, and Singapore Airlines. The airport is also one of only two in the UK (along with Stansted) which is designated for "at risk" flights, and so sees instances of diverted flights landing here after bomb threats etc. More trivially, Prestwick Airport is the only place in the UK that Elvis Presley set foot in, when his US Army plane landed to refuel. A star in the terminal building commemorates this fact.

Elvis has left the building
In fact he left nearly 50 years ago. Prestwick Airport is the only place in the UK where Elvis Presley set foot and the bar advertised on this banner at the airport commemorates that fact.
