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:

G-TUKX TUI Boeing 737-800

EI-EFH Ryanair Boeing 737-800

A Lovely Sunny Day In The Garden Seeing Aeroplanes On Approach To Birmingham Airport!

     

    So as today was the last bank holiday of the year in England and the sun was beating down we decided to have a family day in the back garden. Pool out, BBQ out and then the youngest shouted "Look Daddy a Jet2". looking up she was rite a Jet2 Airbus A321Neo banking over my house.

    Checking Flight Radar the runway in use was indeed. When This runway is in use I probably get around 40% of all traffic.

So from around midday this is what I noted:

    G-SUNC Jet2 Airbus A321Neo

    EI-IFW Ryanair Boeing 737Max8-200

    OE-LST easyjet Airbus A320Neo

    A7-BCV Qatar Airways Boeing 787-8

Unexpected Visit To Birmingham

 

So as per everyday I’m always first up on my household. Make a fresh coffee or two whilst scanning through email checking on Facebook and or course the check to see what’s arriving at Birmingham. Today three arrivals caught my eye. The first one being the brand new (even maybe first revenue flight) Ryanair Boeing 737 Max8-200 EI-ILF. Sadly this one had already come and gone. The second of the three was La Compagnie Airbus A321Neo F-HNCO  which was arriving from New York Newark, And finally another first visit for an aircraft was former China Airlines Cargo Boeing 747-400F TF-AKG now operated by Network Aviation. But with this running a little late this too was sadly missed.

So just a very small log, because by the time I got there all the morning holiday flight had long gone leaving a very quiet airport.

Noted from the Elmdon Multi Storey Car Park around 1015:
