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.

Quick Half Hour At Heathrow Before I Head To The Hotel.

  

    So today I headed to London for a training course, which will continue tomorrow. Luckily it's not that far from Heathrow. My bosses gave me the choice of which hotel I would prefer to stay in, and of course I chose the premier inn on Bath Road. But luck wasn't on my side  today with the aircraft landing on Runway 09L. I found a small lay-by just on the other side of the M25 motorway. it wasn't the greatest place to spot, but it was good enough with the help of flight radar

    Here's what was logged from around 1630 on approach to runway 09L:

Lunch Break At Birmingham

 

Another day another week but I still end up at my favourite place to take my lunch break. Today I had my break there for two reason. The first being a required Turkish Airlines Boeing 737 Max that had night stopped after operating a charter flight from Baku, which I had been told was bringing F1 teams back From the weekends racing. The second reason was the Pegasus Airbus A320Neo.

Early Morning Manchester Airport!

 

    So today I had the chance of some extra work in the Manchester area. I couldn't be there till after 7am so I called in at the Airport to see what was about.

    I know Manchester is a much bigger airport than Birmingham and the amount of passengers and aircraft movements is double if not more, but compare this log to yesterdays log of Birmingham and you can really see the difference. I've said it many times before and will many times more. Manchester is the best spotting airport in the UK and in my top 5 in Europe.

A Couple Of Flying Visits To Birmingham My Working Day

 

    The Header says it all. Once again working around the Birmingham And Rugby area again today, so took the opportunity to make a couple of quick stops at Birmingham. Parked up today were a large number of Biz jets. I don't log these, but if it wears a bright and colourful scheme I will photograph them.

    Looking on flight radar whilst having breakfast the only ones of note to that interested me was the departure of the Wamos Air A330 Back to Madrid and the Pegasus Airbus A321Neo which would fill a nice gap in the log book.

    The following Aircraft where noted on my visits:

    TC-LTM Turkish Airlines Airbus A321Neo

    F-HBLG Air France EMB 190

    TC-SMA Sun Express Boeing 737Max8

A Mid Morning Drive By And Lunch Break At Birmingham

 

    Another dull day around the midlands today, low cloud ment even on Runway 15 the aircraft wasn't visible flying over todays place of work.

    whilst driving to my first job of the day I just about managed to see SP-RZH Buzz Boeing 737 Max8-200 appear through the cloud over the m6 motorway. After completing my job in Rugby I headed back into Birmingham via the airport for a quick drive past the crash gates. Afterwards I stopped for my lunch at the elmdon side.

You guessed it lunchtime at East Midlands Airport. I parked up by the crash gate at the 27 end of the runway by the East Midlands Gateway. After a brief stay here it was a quick drive around to identify the aircraft flight radar was showing on the ground.
