My parents built a house beside Dyce/Aberdeen airport, many many years ago, I was about 2 or 3 then and the airport wasnt really an airport, it was a very small airodrome with gliders and things. Anyway as a child growing up, my friends and I used to see the Queen and family when they would arrive at Aberdeen airport for their summers at Balmoral. We used to wave to them and on a couple of occasions they actually waved back at us. We were literally accross the street from them as they got off the plane. My friend and I used to have our little picnics on the grass by the runway
