Prestwick Aviation Tours

Prestwick Aviation Tours We offer varied tours where we tell the fantastic story of the aviation site at Prestwick in Scotland. Welcome to Prestwick Aviation History Tours.

We provide varied walking tours of the perimeter of the fantastic aviation site at Prestwick Airport in Scotland. Even from the perimeter we can take you through the ages at Prestwick from the first aviation related activity in 1913 through to the varied aviation activities of today. We will relate stories of the early aviation pioneers in the 20s and 30s, the vital role that Prestwick played in W

orld War 2 and the Cold War, the development of aircraft manufacturing on site and the boom in transatlantic jet travel during the 60s, 70, and 80 which took many Scots and their families to carve out new lives in the US and Canada. Similarly many US and Canadian citizens came in the opposite direction either as tourists seeking long lost ancestry or as Military Service personnel to serve their time at the bases at Prestwick, the Holy Loch, Edzell and others. We will also share with you the tragedies and the tough times times that Prestwick has endured over the years but also how the airfield has overcome all the challenges that have been thrown at it and how it is now operating in profit and about to enter into the space age.. We look forward to walking with you and relating the history, the highs and the lows, and the unique stories that make Prestwick such a special place to visit.

Glasgow Prestwick Airport to the rescue! With fuel supply issues at both Glasgow and Edinburgh airports just now, some aircraft are having to visit other airports to pick up fuel. Prestwick had two TUI Boeing 737 aircraft en-route from Glasgow to Rhodes and Ibiza drop in for fuel before heading on to their destinations. This would seem to be a local supply issue and not a national issue so people shouldn't be too concerned about their forthcoming flights. Thanks to Eddie Wallace for the photograph.
