Back Out On The Road And Back At Birmingham!

    So After a short period off work due to illness, I was back at it and hitting the UK motorway network heading to the Birmingham Airport Area. My first visit of the day was just to see what was about now that the summer time table is coming to an end. The second visit of the day was to catch one of the newer Jet2 Airbus A321Neo which is currently based at Birmingham. I expect the movements to start dying down fast now the main holiday season is over and a couple of airlines are pulling out for the winter time table.
