Plane-spotters say ‘I\u2019m here for the plane, not Trump’published at 20:30 British Summer Time<\/p>\n

Hundreds of plane-spotters are on a grassy bank overlooking the runway, here to catch a glimpse of Air Force One.<\/p>\n

Carrie-Ann, 47, has travelled from Fife with her son to be here and has come prepared.<\/p>\n

She said: “We have snacks and a book. We\u2019ve got rolls, crisps, sweets, juice, water – you name it, it\u2019s in the bag.<\/p>\n

Others have come from ever further afield. Sam Sharp, 24, from Newcastle is weighed down by a metre-long camera lens – putting our broadcast equipment to shame – although he admits it\u2019s “a bit overkill”.<\/p>\n

Speaking of the presidential plane, he said: “It is the queen of the skies. Everyone just knows Air Force One. It\u2019s a rare chance to see such a beautiful aircraft.<\/p>\n

Further along the bank, Abbie, Kevin and Cooper are waiting patiently with their cameras on a picnic blanket.<\/p>\n

Asked about his thoughts of Donald Trump\u2019s visit, Kevin said: “Everyone has their different political views. I\u2019m not a fan myself, but I think everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I\u2019m just here for the plane, not him.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Plane-spotters say ‘I\u2019m here for the plane, not Trump’published at 20:30 British Summer Time 20:30 BST Ben PhilipReporting…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":23835,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[43,44,41,39,42,40],"class_list":["post-23834","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23834","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23834"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23834\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23835"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23834"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23834"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23834"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
