Nordic capitals for me. Under served.

If you like the lights, the best view I have ever seen is the one across London from the QE Bridge at Dartford on a clear night. Keep your eye on the road though!

Alpha Tower is tiny now. When I was a lad.... Great photo and to think what is to come...Smallbrook!

Hopefully the others will be some missing cities. But steady growth is not a bad thing, given the large presence of Ryanair and Jet2.

Just under a million. Not bad. Good growth rate continues. Record year?

Rather have a US airline, as that means Americans coming over here driving demand than British going over there. City needs the presence that Edinburgh / Scotland certainly does at the moment! Come on Tom and Tom, drum up some business please.

The great what is a skyscraper definition. It used to be 100 m. Then it became 150 m. Tall buildings are over 10 storeys. Brum will soon join London and Manchester in having buildings over 150 m. Of the 47 skyscrapers in the UK 38 are in London and 9 in Manchester. Should the ambition be...

The choice is simple for people who want to fly. Either... Go to BHX next year after the works are completed and the place looks and feels far better than today (great in fact), and when all the bad publicity has ended, but with a memory of a poor experience this year or of reading the social...

Just hope the pudding is not an Eton Mess

Maybe MB1 and thanks for your response. But for balance when everything returns to normal or better, will they report that ? No. Good news is not worthy of reporting. Sorry state of affairs, really. Hey ho.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cz55361nvylo More acorn from the BBC. Do you think the BBC news editor had a bad experience was and is hell bent on revenge?

They are, but the headlines first two words are Birmingham Airport and with others over recent weeks it's screams as 'do not use Birmingham Airport'. Sadly the average punter does not know what we know. Things can only get better....

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cgee027prz4o More poor PR for the airport, although not the airport operators fault.

Thought it had come back when I saw the Tui flight from Fort Worth on FR24. What the... Things may change when HS2 is open which provides new opportunities. But you only have to see the traffic jams at 35,000 feet each day from North America to LHR to realize that they have the monopoly. Even...

Feel so sad for the Mighty Moors. Twice in three seasons come so close. Their time will come, though. Plus the FA Trophy final next weekend. As for the Blues, the best fans in the world did not deserve that season and that outcome. But looks what happened the shortly after last time they were...

How sad that in the past week we have lost two great keyboardists - Michael Pinder and Richard Tandy - from two of our greatest musical exports - The Moody Blues and ELO. Always will their music live on.

Great memories. Thanks all for sharing, in particular to elmdon74 for link to your Flickr stock of photos. One question: what was an Air Arubu flight doing at BHX? Diversion I assume. Just reminds us all of the wonderful journey BJX has been on and the occasional exotic visitors we have had...

At this rate we will need a cargo hub. Thank you for the pics. Wonderful to see

The images of the flooding at Dubai airport are simply astonishing (BBC et al). No wonder flights are being cancelled. I am not sure that you can adapt a 380 into a seaplane....

Thanks Rollo and Elmdon
