    Yep, and trains and trams, which is all great and needed. He has the ear of the government and they obviously want him to do well, as he has secured funding for a number of projects. Ministers and even the PM are quite regular visitors to the Midlands to see the various projects and visit...

    Infrastructure, Construction & Developments

    https://solihullobserver.co.uk/news/plans-for-hs2-interchange-station-set-to-go-on-show-in-solihull/ This could well be worth a visit. From previous plans that were published the outline border ( blue/purple colour ) for the airport seems to have reduced somewhat. I had seen plans where...

    Primera Air

    The 3rd A321n ( MSN8260 ) seems to have overtaken the 2nd A321n ( MSN8195 ) at the moment as OY-PAC had its first flight today. It would be nice if they flew that over tomorrow for a bit of publicity but doubt they will. Contemplating booking a short trip to Toronto in September, but will...

    Nostalgia at BHX

    BEA also used the 'Super' 1-11's after the Vanguards. Used it for my first ever flight, a day trip to LHR. A student fare of £6 return

    Elmdon Building & Old Tower

    Chris Not sure if you or anyone else on here has heard of a business that set up in St Pauls square a few years ago called the Wonderful World of Trains and Planes. I never got chance to visit it myself as it closed about a month after I heard about it, but the business was made up of a number...

    Random Stuff!

    Our Saturday night regular was the Buccaneer, which was attached to the hotel at the entrance to the old Elmdon Airport ( now a Holiday Inn I think ). Used to walk up from Sheldon ( we all lived by the Radlees ), 6 pints of M&B bitter, get the Midland Red 159 down to the Wheatsheaf, a bag of...

    Flying from Brum? Tell us where you're going

    No worries BrumX. Hong Kong Airlines would be great, and I think they would be a perfect fit for BHX.

    Flying from Brum? Tell us where you're going

    Thanks Ray. I have used the bigger hubs in the past, CDG, AMS, FRA and had an OK experience, but after using Zurich in the past year, it is so well organised, quite compact, and the transit times are great, much better than the bigger hubs. Also found all of the ground crew and FA's so nice...

    Flying from Brum? Tell us where you're going

    (y) we are Coton in the Elms, Sheldon ex pat. Whenever we go to the Smisby Arms we sometimes go through Moira. If you have not been to the Smisby Arms, worth a trip for the food. It is run by another Sheldon ex pat Blues fan as well (y)

    Flying from Brum? Tell us where you're going

    We did not take too many actually Brum X, but here are a few from the cable car and one from the hotel room. They are not that good due to being taken through the cable car glass and the distance. It was a fantastic view though !! The road bridge in the foreground is the new road bridge to...

Check-in was swift, security there was a small queue, but it moved quickly, boarding was great, quick and all...

    Flying from Brum? Tell us where you're going

    Yep, just got to the hotel in Hong Kong. Two great flights, as usual with Swiss. Was really hoping it would be the C Series from Brum though, but had to make do with the F100. The first flight for me in ages to/from Brum where the flight has not been packed. Probably two thirds full, nice...

    Birmingham Airport - General Thread

    Just in the departure lounge now actually. Security was OK. There was a queue of 30 - 40 people when we joined but it moved quite quickly. The only difference I noticed since my last trip in November, was that where you put your bags and laptops etc into the trays, the counter was split into...

    Nothing obvious Kevin. I use planespotters.net and they use operators name against the serial number rather than any lessor name. Also on the A380***Links to other forums are not permitted*** site and the A320neo family thread there is not a thread yet for Primera. Thanks Ian
