Early Morning Visit To Drop A Relative off On Their Travels

 

    Sometimes you just have to say no! I never seem to listen to my own advice, when one of my relatives asked me to take them to the airport. All they said a few months ago was, it was with KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. So last night they phoned "you still OK to take us? We fly at 0600...."

    Before heading round to the Elmdon side of the airport, I was in need of some food and a lot of coffee to wake me up. I also had a quick power nap missing their departure!!

But as today I was let out the offer for a job in Solihull, so I grabbed the chance to call into Birmingham Airport for a required Boeing 737 Max 8 of Turkish Airlines, and a quick cathc up with some of the local spotters.
