Back To Work And Back To Birmingham

 

So it was back to work today. After going into the depot for my list of jobs I was off out and about the Solihull area and obviously I would be making a quick stop at Birmingham Airport. The star visitor today was La Compagnie’s other Airbus A321Neo F-HBUZ which was running late so I sadly missed.

So whilst in the Minworth area I managed to the Turkish Airlines Airbus A321Neo TC-LUP departing back to Istanbul.

The following where noted around 1130:

A Magnificent Monday Spotting At Manchester Airport

 

    So this week I’m on annual leave, and today was the only day I hadn’t got anything planned to do with the family. So after a lot of begging and pleading I managed to get a day spotting behind the camera.

    So Manchester was my destination after those quick short visits during work really wetted the appetite to go. My last proper spotting trip here must of been 2019 before my flight to Stockholm.

    Anyway back to today! My alarm was set to 05:15 opened the curtains hoping that gorgeous weather we’d had the last few days, and you guessed it cloud! Oh well. I left my house just before 0600 and arrived at Manchester Airport south side around 0715. The good thing of getting there early is you can park in the lay by or what I call the small parking area just off the island. 

    There have been some reports on social media that people are parking in front of the crash gates and other access point for the emergency services and the council in due course are going to make it a no parking area with red lines. At the moment this isn’t the case so just think where you park and don’t spoil it for others. There is a holiday inn about 500m down the road which I was told you can park for a charge.

    After a two minute walk I was on one of the south side mounds and this is where I would stay until around 1330.

This was my view from the viewing mound.
