EDINBURGH AIRPORT
(Passengers: 267,808 international; 1,584,390 domestic)
When we recently visited all the airports in Britain to look at them from the passengers' point of view, we judged Edinburgh to be an extremely well-planned airport which met most of the standards we were expecting. Getting in and about: good signposting to the airport starts in the city itself, although there is a confusing stretch along the route where directions disappear for a while. The L-shaped terminal is wrapped' around the carpark and getting from the car to the terminal is consequently inside the terminal and a moving stairway makes it easy to reach the upper levels. Food and drink: the large bar and café on the ground floor are well furnished with proper chair and tables and there is a wide range of appetizing food. Upstairs there is another bar-clean and uncrowded-and a bright, cheerful restaurant (test meal 2.27) with newspapers to read. Flight notices were easily seen. Waiting (landside): there are not many seats outside the refreshment areas, although some are,provided opposite the 'arrivals' door. There is an excellent area for watching planes arriving and departing - decorated with masses of plants-a large shop and bank, plenty of payphones and telephone directories. The terminal is long and pleasant with much to interest a visitor with time to spare. Countless little touches add up to an enjoyable building. (airside): not surprisingly for an airport in which about 85% of the traffic is domestic, passengers on intermal flights are put first for comfort and convenience. Moving staircases take them speedily up to first-floor holding lounges; airbridges make boarding the planes easy. International passengers wait in a large and naturally-lit departure lounge, but must then walk along a corridor, down some stairs to the gates and across the concrete to the planes. Only one gate had an airbridge. Intermational arrivals walk back up these stairs, though passport control and then downstairs to collect their baggage.

A bone discovered in chance in the 17th century was the beginning of the search for dinosaurs. From then in, scientists and the public have been fascinated by these creatures. In accordance to beliefs at the time, the initial discovery was thought to be the bone of a human giant. However, in 1824, a scientist, William Buckland ,calculated that the bone belonged to a 12-metre, flesh-eating reptile and named it Megalosaurus, on the process giving us the first of the wonderful list of exotic names for dinosaurs. The 17th century discovery had, on turn, led to a series of futher names for further finds around that time. All these at a greater or lesser extent confirmed Buckland's theories. For far the biggest dinosaur discovered to date was probaly over 40 metres long. To the most part, dinosaurs ranged from the size of a chicken to that of a giraffe. At most respects, what we know about their habits is still very limited. What we do know is at least on some extent based on pure speculation
