A Family Day out But I still Managed To Get To The Airport

 

So I had a lovely family day out near Tamworth roller skating with family. Needless to say I didn’t even entertain the idea of getting on the skates. Anyway after setting off back home the motorways signs where showing delays on the M6 north so I decided to take the route past the airport.

When ever I see the junction 6 exit I just think in the back of my head “there might be something you need”. So straight round to the Elmdon side of the airport and up to the top level on the multi storey car park and logged the following.

All where seen at 1500:

Quick call into East Midlands on the way home

 

So after leaving Leeds Bradford I made a stop at Donnington Services and then it was a pit stop at East Midlands Airport. Always nice to see the Boeing 747-400F on the ground, this visit I was lucky enough to catch two of them in the liveries of Saudia and One Air.

    In the Airbourne Colours was what looked like a CRJ900 of cityjet being paint in SAS colours, but the door wasn't open fully so I couldn't get the Registration as it was nose on to the hangar door.

    Here's what was noted around 12:45 on the 28th August:

    EI-EKD Ryanair Boeing 737-800

    EI-EST Ryanair Boeing 737-800

    9H-AKA Saudia Boeing 747-400F

    EC-JXF Swiftair ATR72F

    G-DHLE DHL Boeing 767-300F

    G-BMRA DHL Boeing 757-200F

    G-ONEE One Air Boeing 747-400F

    G-DHLK DHL Boeing 767-300F

    G-BMRJ DHL Boeing 757-200F

    G-NPTF West Atlantic ATR72F

    One that I couldn't see sadly was Boeing 737-800F A9C-JNC Which was in the hangar for painting or repairs I guess.

First Visit To Leeds Bradford Airport

  

   I'm running a couple of days behind with my blogs due to work and family commitments. My visit to Leeds Bradford was made on Thursday 28th August.

    So today I made a first time visit to Leeds Bradford Airport. I'd been sent up to the Hull area with work, so I thought I'd call in here to see if there was anything about.

    Sadly as many people that visited here now it is very slow and not much in variety of movements.

    The following where noted at around 11:35

    EI-ENP Ryanair Boeing 737-800

    G-JZBW Jet2 Boeing 737-800

    G-GDFZ Jet2 Boeing 737-800

    G-GDFN Jet2 Boeing 737-300

    G-GDFK Jet2 Boeing 737-300

    

    It was nice to see some of the older Jet2 Boeing 737-300 instead of the normal 737-800 and Airbus Fleet. Would I come back here probably yes, just for the chance to photograph the Boeing 737 Classic models before they become coke cans

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:
