     Todays work took me further afield than normal as down to the south west to the Bristol area, so I thought I would call past and see what Bristol Airport had to offer. A quick drive past from Winters lane and 15 mins on Felton Common Produce the following.

As always the case with my brain not always work, I forgot to check to see if the Jet Provost  XN551 was still lying in the field off West Lane just to the east of the airport off the A38.

The following noted 1245-1300

    G-EZOP easyjet Airbus A320
    OE-LQB easyjet Airbus A319
    EI-IKD Ryanair Boeing 737 Max8-200
    G-DRTK Jet2 Boeing 737-800
    G-EZTB easyjet Airbus A320
    EI-DYA Ryanair Boeing 737-800
    G-TUMW TUI Boeing 737 Max 8
    G-EZPV Easyjet Airbus A320

There were various light aircraft at the flying school but nothing noted.

Another Day, Another Trip to Birmingham


     A quick look on flight radar, showed a few things coming in today that I required. But being at work and never knowing where I'll end up I don't always get to pop into the airport.

    Today summed that up. The required Pegasus Airbus A320Neo was missed due to being diverted to Northampton. I'd already missed the Titan Airways Airbus A321Neo the had positioned up from London Gatwick to operate for TUI. But another flight radar check at lunch showed it returning early afternoon to Birmingham. And Just as I pulled to the Elmdon side of the airport the Airbus was just turning onto finals for Runway 33.

    The following where noted 1430 - 1445:

    G-TUMT TUI Boeing 737Max8

Trip Report And Log Birmingham 31st May 2025

 

    So being in the city centre tonight dropping the in-laws off for a evening meal I decided to pop into Birmingham Airport to see what was on offer. The roof level of car park 7, the Elmdon multi-storey car park is now open again to pedestrians only with access via the two stair cases. Be on your best behaviour as there is CCTV in operation.

    The main reason or excuse to go there was the night stopping Boeing 737-800F of Bahrain Cargo Airline Texel Air A9C-TXY.

The following where logged:

    A9C-TXY Texel Air Boeing 737-800F
    OE-LFM Zimex ATR72F
    G-JZBO Jet2 Boeing 737-800
    G-TUIN TUI Boeing 787-9
    TC-RSC Biz jet
    D-IBLK Biz Jet
    G-DRTL Jet2 Boeing 737-800
    9H-QCS Ryanair Boeing 737-800
    G-SUNG Jet2 Airbus A321Neo
    G-EZOI easyjet Airbus A320
    EI-IKP Ryanair Boeing 737Max8-200
    D-AILA Lufthansa Airbus A319
    G-FDZS TUI Boeing 737-800
    OY-SYA Maersk Air Boeing 767-300F
    EI-HPK Aer Lingus Regional ATR72
    EI-DWG Ryanair Boeing 737-800
    F-HBLO HOP EMB-190
    CS-GLM Biz Jet
    D-AIBK Lufthansa Airbus A319

    The only other aircraft of note for myself was the recently delivered Aer Lingus Regional ATR. Catching that was more by luck than judgement as it was operating over an hour late!
