Time To Pick the Brother In Law Up

 

    An early morning visit to Birmingham Airport to pick my brother in law up after his trip to Portugal. I went firstly over to my old stomping ground in the shape of the Elmdon Multi Storey car park and the once I got the call off him it was over to car park 5 and meet him at the drop off point. This point is free for ten minutes and roughly five minutes walk from the terminal buildings and check in.

    The following were noted around 0820 from the multi storey car park:

Mid Afternoon Visit To Birmingham

 

    Back to my local today after a couple of visits to Manchester the previous days. I held out as later as my jobs would allow, to give me chance to catch the Titan Airways EMB195 operating a flight for Aurigny in place of one of their regular ATR72.

    I was hoping for it to still be in the livery that it wore bringing the England Women's Football team home. but sadly its all white.

Yet Another Emirates Airbus A380 Aborted Landing At Birmingham

 

    

    Another week and I've witnessed yet another aborted landing of an Emirates Airbus A380 at Birmingham Airport. This time I think it was more down to the heavy rain and windy conditions at the airport, rather than an aircraft to slow to vacate the runway as my previous aborted landing last week.

    You may guess it was another lunch break at the airport but with good reason as I required the Airbus A321Neo operating the Pegasus flight from Istanbul.

Another Day, Another Trip to Birmingham

     A quick look on flight radar, showed a few things coming in today that I required. But being at work and never knowing where I'll end up I don't always get to pop into the airport.

    Today summed that up. The required Pegasus Airbus A320Neo was missed due to being diverted to Northampton. I'd already missed the Titan Airways Airbus A321Neo the had positioned up from London Gatwick to operate for TUI. But another flight radar check at lunch showed it returning early afternoon to Birmingham. And Just as I pulled to the Elmdon side of the airport the Airbus was just turning onto finals for Runway 33.
