Couple Of Visits To Birmingham Airport Either Side Of A Job In Solihull

 

    Once again Solihull was my destination of work today. Having done a couple of jobs in the morning I once again ended up at the Elmdon Multi storey car park to have my lunch break. There wasn't much of interest due into the Airport for me. Pegasus sent a Boeing 737-800 instead of the usual mixture of Airbus A320 And A321Neo. One that I wasnt Sure if I needed or not was the Ryanair Boeing 737 Max8-200 EI-IKK which was operating the service from Cork.

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.
