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:

G-TUKX TUI Boeing 737-800
EI-EFH Ryanair Boeing 737-800
EI-DHX Ryanair Boeing 737-800
G-SUND Jet2 Airbus A321Neo
G-CMMT Aer Lingus Regional ATR72
EC-MBY Vueling Airbus A320
G-SUNG Jet2 Airbus A321Neo

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
    9H-WME Wizz Air Airbus A321Neo
    G-JZBD Jet2 Boeing 737-800
    G-PEMB Aurigny ATR72
    G-TAWV TUI Boeing 737-800
    F-HBLD Air France EMB190
    EI-DWH Ryanair Boeing 737-800
    TC-SOB Sun Express Boeing 737 Max8
    G-DRTR Jet2 Boeing 737-800
    OM-LEX Jet2 Boeing 737-800
    G-SUND Jet2 Airbus A321Neo
    EI-IGO Ryanair Boeing 737 Max8-200
