Happy International FISO day, looking at you @NATSLondoninfo
FISO Day - IFISA
🎄Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from all of us at Scottish Information🎄
Thank you to all pilots, operators, and colleagues for working with us throughout the year. Here’s to clear skies and safe flights in 2026 and we look forward to serving you in the year ahead.
Hope the flybys in Northern Ireland went well. It was an honour providing you with a service yesterday!
What a display here in Ayr from our very own Lancaster PA474 and Spitfire PM631. Is there a better way to open the show? 🤩✈️
We will be here on the ground in the military village for the rest of the day talking all things BBMF!

Thank you Ayr! Wonderful to showcase our full display on day two of the event in Scotland. Tens of thousands of people turned out for The International Ayr Show - Festival of Flight, which aimed to inspire and entertain through the power of aviation and STEM.
