A Scots man with autism was able to see his favourite aircraft at Glasgow Airport after the world's largest commercial plane landed in the city.
Calum Thomson, 23, and dad Thomas, 53, were among crowds who had gathered to catch a glimpse of the Emirates A380 aircraft on Sunday.
The pair donned hi-vis jackets on the runway of Glasgow Airport as they watched the landing. Both are familiar with plane spotting due to Calum's love of aviation which has a calming effect on him, Glasgow Live reports.
Thomas is now keen to make sure his son can enjoy his favourite hobby as often as possible. The Rolls-Royce metal sprayer from Penilee said: "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."
Thomas and Calum regularly travel around the country to watch landings and were at Prestwick Airport to see the Antonov 225 Myria arrive.
Calum's love of aviation was sparked at an early age through his grandfather who would often take him to the airport.
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
