Birmingham Aviation is merely wanting a discussion. Trouble is, and I share his frustration, we are not seeing a lot happening. We have it year after year, and expectations can run ahead of ourselves. when I joined this forum, I was eager for the next exciting move...I was really excited about...

I went to Venice with my good wife earlier in the year, and we went to a concert of the Four Seasons in a church. La Foila was one of the 'other' tunes the chamber orchestra played. I agree, it is brilliant. Enjoy your music. It is my passion and I can list many songs that will make you melt...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy0vr5jj7rzo One for you BrumX. Cost of my mortgage for a 4-bes house per month for a 1-bed flat! Blimey. Views are amazing no doubt.

Great to see your return and full of vigour. I hope your recovery is a speedy one!

Gotta laugh. Arrived at MXP and the escalators are out of action! :ROFLMAO:

Sorry a bit of humour from me...apologies.

I Think the security area is too near the door. If they moved it a lot further in maybe the queue would not reach the door and so pyschologically, there would be no queue as queues only become an issue, in my 60 years experience, once they go out of the door. We went to go into a cafe the...

In which case, and given how lousy the British are at infrastructure, they had better start with the planning now for the terminal expansion to cope post 2030...I have a tent going. Time for them to think big. Aim for 30 mmpa capacity, as they once did.

New destination to add to the list? Even as a one off, maybe...

Excellent numbers. The best numbers. New numbers. Numbers never seen before, ever. The airport has for 150 years wanted a ball room. And the east tent is going to be a ballroom. No airport CEO could ever build a ball room. Barton builds ballrooms, the best ballrooms.... ...stop me, someone...

Don't mention the.tent ever. When I stayed at the Holiday inn at BHX I looked across and thought what the "being polite" is that " being polite" tent doing at a major international airport? When I arrived at mxp, the BEA livered BA Airbus 319 was here. flash back to the good olden days.

I am sure these employees really enjoy speculation like this. At present BHX is fine. Could be a lot better if the company spent a billion quid. But having come through MXP T1 on Monday, there are far worse airports.

Wow indeed. They put the flipping tent in there. Anyone recognize themselves?. Some people are mega talented. Thanks for finding and sharing.

Talk of BHX renaming to Ozzy Osbourne International. Big petition to do so. Not sure myself, but it would be a great tribute.

I think we all must have been there. Those days were so wonderful. Eating a bag of cheese and onion golden wonders, face pressed to the glass, and the smell of turbo props. Remember when airports used to let you in to watch the airport in action? To be fair when the 'new' terminal opened in 1984...
