A Glasgow father and son were among crowds who gathered to catch a glimpse of the world's largest commercial aircraft landing in the city.
Thomas Thomson, 53, and his son Calum, 23, donned hi-vis jackets on the runway of Glasgow Airport on Sunday to see the Emirates A380 aircraft arrive.
The pair are familiar faces on the plane spotting scene with Thomas making sure his son is able to enjoy his favourite hobby as often as possible.

The Rolls-Royce metal sprayer from Penilee told Glasgow Live: "Today has been absolutely fantastic. Glasgow Airport has been really nice inviting us in once again.
"My son is autistic so this is a great experience, he loves it because it's his hobby. Aviation and anything to do with it he loves, especially the airbus, it's his favourite aircraft to get in to see. It's absolutely amazing.
"He's hyper and super pleased."
The pair enjoy travelling around the country to see the latest landings including Prestwick airport where they saw the Antonov 225 Myria.
Calum discovered his love of aviation at an early age after being taken to the airport by his grandfather.
Thomas added: "His grandfather started bringing him to the airport to let him watch the planes take off and land, he worked for Rolls Royce the same as myself so that started his interest in aviation.
"Just seeing him enjoy it and that it always made him happy is the best part.
"It was always great getting out, he was always nice and calm, and he could talk to his friends. Doing this helps bring his speech and socialisation skills up. He really loves it.
"It's just a pity the weather wasn't nicer but it doesn't matter to Calum it could be three feet of snow and it wouldn't stop him from coming to see them land that's how much he loves them."
Welcoming the Emirates A380 back, Calum said he had missed it "from the bottom of his heart".
"I've never been inside but the size of it inside is my favourite part. I've been out in stormy weather, wind, rain - everything."
After getting back from a busy day of plane spotting, the pair will be developing their pictures to post on aviation groups.
Thomas added: "There's a Glasgow spotters group, Scottish aviation photographers, aircraft and wildlife at airports. People all post and share pictures on them.
"We travel all over the country to see different aircraft, just to experience different airports but Glasgow Aiport is our home airport.
"As long as he keeps wanting to come, I'll keep bringing him."
